Siblings
What are Sibshops?
For the adults who run them and for the agencies that sponsor them, Sibshops are evidence of their loving concern for the family member who will have the longest-lasting relationship with a person who has a disability. However, 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. At the CED, we are now offering virtual Sibshops for children ages 7-12 who have a sibling with a disability. See registration information below.

Now introducing SibTeen!
SibTeen workshops are a place where teenage sibs ages 13 to 17 of people with disabilities can connect virtually with others who get it. It’s a fun and thoughtful group where members share unique concerns, joys, frustrations, and information with others who truly understand!
SibTeen workshops are offered via ZOOM the 2nd Monday of every month at 7:00PM starting in May 2024.
