Sib shops are a fun\, sib-focused time to connect and relax with other sibling s who get what being a sib is all about.\n\nFor the adults who run them an d for the agencies that sponsor them\, Sibshops are evidence of their lovi ng concern for the family member who will have the longest-lasting relatio nship with a person who has a disability. However\, for the children and t eens who attend them\, Sibshops are fun events where they will meet other sibs (usually for the first time)\, have fun\, laugh\, talk about the chal lenges and joys of having a sib with disabilities\, play some great games and learn something about the services their brothers and sisters receive. \n\nEspecially during this time when many families are spending more time at home\, siblings are experiencing all kinds of feelings. Meeting other s ibs\, talking and playing games with one another can help your child feel less alone and more prepared to handle different experiences and situation s that arise.\n\nSupporting Illinois Brothers and Sisters (SIBS) is hostin g this event in collaboration with the Northwest Special Rec Association ( NWSRA).\n\nGo to the online registration form and click on #9045 (free sib shop) to fill out the form.\n\nQuestions can be directed to LJ Jevaney at ljevaney@nwsra.org or (847) 392-2848\, ext. 246.
