Welcome to UWSP Sibshops<\/h3>

Sibshops are events held for children who have siblings with special needs and chronic healthcare needs. Adult facilitators guide Sibshops where children, from 5 to 12 years old, enjoy games, activities and recreation mixed with open discussion time for support. It is a safe place for children to learn, explore and express their experience, what it’s like to have a sibling with special needs.<\/p>\n

For the kids who attend them, Sibshops are pedal-to-the-metal events where they will meet other sibs (usually for the first time), have fun, laugh, talk about the good and not-so-good parts of having a sib with special needs, play some great games, learn something about the services their brothers and sister receive, and have some more fun.<\/p>\n
