The Arc Livingston - Sibshops
The Arc Livingston Sibshops are lively, action packed, hour long workshops that celebrate the many contributions made by brothers and sisters of kids with special needs. They reflect a belief that brothers and sisters have much to offer one another – if they are given a chance. The Sibshop model mixes information and discussion activities with new games (designed to be unique, off-beat, and appealing to a wide ability range), and special guests.
The Arc Livingston Sibshops are designed for siblings of children with disabilities or significant health/medical issues, aged 8 to 12.
Siblings will have the opportunity to:
• Meet other sibs (usually for the first time)
• Have fun
• Talk about the good and not-so-good parts of having a sib with special needs with others who “get it”
• Play some great games
• Learn how other brothers and sisters handle sticky situations sometimes faced by brothers and sisters
• Laugh
• Learn about the services their brothers and sister receive
• Have some more fun!
