Customer Reviews

Outstanding Curriculum for Siblings of Children with Special Needs

This book provides wonderful ideas for activities that certified Sibshop facilitators can use to provide the brothers and sisters of children with developmental disabilities opportunities to have fun, be kids, make friends and talk about the ups and downs of having a "special" sibling. Every organization serving children with special needs should offer a Sibshop - it is a tremendous source of family support.

Sibshops is a must for your community

The book is thorough and very good to assist you in running the SibShop program.

Platform for Siblings

This book provides a much needed platform for people who have siblings with special needs. It also serves as a manifesto for how you, too can set up such a workshop for people to share their experiences. This is an excellent and empowering book that helps address the needs of siblings. I recommend this one together with Donald J. Meyers' book, "Views From Our Shoes."
