Sibshop from Nevada Early Intervention Services and DSCNV
THIS IS A DROP OFF EVENT.
Sibshop is a fantastic nationally developed program, designed specifically for siblings of children with special health care or developmental needs, open to kids ages 8-13.
This high-energy event is an absolute blast—fast-paced, engaging, and full of fun!
We recognize that having a sibling with special needs can be a unique experience, sometimes wonderful and other times challenging. Sibshop provides a space where children can connect with others who share similar experiences, play games, and participate in meaningful discussions about their joys and concerns.
For parents, Sibshops acknowledge the vital role that siblings play. They are often a child's first and lifelong friend, navigating many of the same emotions that parents do — feelings of isolation, the need for information, concerns for the future, guilt, and caregiving demands.
Join us in celebrating and supporting these incredible siblings!
10 am - 2 pm, Free, lunch will be provided.
