2010-2011 Central Indiana Sibshops
Central Indiana Sibshops (ages 3-13) and Young Sibshops (ages 4-7),
workshops for siblings of children with special needs, will be offered
this fall and into next summer through a partnership between several
Central Indiana organizations.
Sibshops and Young Sibshops offer an agenda filled with ever-changing
interactive activities, creative crafts, informal discussions, and food
and refreshments. Activities are designed to help children meet other
siblings, share, have fun, make friends, and learn more about what it's
like to be a sibling of a brother or sister with disabilities or health
care needs. Development work between interested partners also is
underway in 2010-11 for Teens Sibshops (ages 14-17).
