A chance for brothers and sisters of children with a special needs to meet.

They discuss their common joys and concerns, learn to handle sibling-specific “sticky situations” and have fun! For kids ages 6-12 years old.

This fall we will be offering Sibshops for both children and teens at our Northbrook location. We will begin each Sibshop as a large group for an opening activity and then separate into age groups (children and teens).

December 10, 2023
January 21, 2024
February 11
March 10
April 7
May 19
June 9

All In-Person Sibshops are on Sundays from 1pm to 3:30pm at our Northbrook location, 255 Revere Drive, Suite 200. 

Virtual Sibshops are not currently scheduled

Virtual Sibshops are for children who cannot participate in person AND for siblings who wish to connect between the in-person Sibshops. 

In-Person Sibshops are $30 per session; partial scholarships are available. Virtual Sibshops are free of charge. Pre-registration is required for in-person and virtual Sibshops. Please contact Yuto Kanii or Tammy Besser if you have any questions and/or to request registration materials.

See calendar for more details.
