Schreiber Sibs
A Sibshop program for siblings ages 7–12
This program creates a welcoming space where siblings of children with disabilities or special needs can connect with peers who understand their experience, share their feelings, learn, and just be kids.
While much support focuses on the child receiving services, Schreiber Sibs recognizes that siblings also need care, connection, and a place to feel seen.
