Sibshops -- Sibling Activities What are Sibshops? Sibshops create opportunities for brothers and sisters of children with disabilities or special needs to meet other siblings and gain support in a fun atmosphere. Sibshops conducted by Lekotek reflect our commitment to siblings who have the longest-lasting relationship with their brother or sister. Sibshops acknowledge that being the brother or sister of a person with special needs is for some a good thing, others a not-so-good thing, and for most somewhere in between. They reflect that brothers and sisters have much to offer each other when given the chance. The
Sibshop model intersperses information and discussion activities with
ice-breakers, fun games, and computer activities. Sibshops are not
therapy, although their effect may be therapeutic. Sibshops acknowledge
that most brothers and sisters, like their parents, are doing well
despite the challenges of a family member with a disability. Upcoming Sibshop in 2010:
