SibShop Sun. Jan. 29 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Siblings of children with special needs often have
issues and needs of their own. “Sibshops” provide opportunities for these siblings to get together with other brothers and sisters of children with special needs in a fun and relaxed environment.
Before getting to the fun activities and crafts, the kids get to enjoy a hot pizza lunch over which they can just laugh and chat with friends and experienced professionals who can well relate to the very challenges they might be facing on the home front.
