Sibshops

  For those who like chess there is chess club, for those who enjoy a fandom there are clubs to go and talk about your fandom with other, for siblings with special needs there is sibships. Sibshops is an organization that lets siblings of kids with special needs hand out with each other, and talk about are siblings, and also do activities that give us a better understanding of how are siblings live their lives. I am part of a group of about seven people who started a sibshops about two years ago. I have not only made many friends, and learned about a bunch of different types of special needs making my understanding a little bit better, but I have also learned that I am not the only one. Not the only one who worries about what is going to happen to their sibling...not the only one who can be annoyed at all of the care their sibling needs....and not the only one who just wants the best for the sibling they love so much.

I am always excited to see my sibshops friends when we meed once a month!
