    Sibshops – Autism Sibling Support Program

    Brothers & sisters of children with autism may have feelings that are difficult to express, even to a friend: sadness that a sister can’t learn things that others take for granted, anger when a brother’s behavior problems prevent the family from doing things other families do, or the special pride when a sibling with autism learns a basic but important life skill after weeks or months of practice. At Sibshops, siblings will share these feelings with others who truly understand.

    Brothers and sisters now have a chance to meet and talk with other kids who have a sibling with autism. They’ll have an opportunity to talk about the good and not so good parts of having a sibling with a disability. Most importantly it will be a place & time for them to have fun!

    Sibshops focuses on using fun & games to explore feelings and share information. Our groups are geared for children aged 7-12 who have a sibling with autism. Children’s Hospital Autism Center will be hosting & running the group.
