There are lots of great things about having a brother or sister with a disability. But it isn't always easy.

At Sibshops and GALS group (Girls Appreciating Loved Siblings), we play, sing, eat, create, laugh, talk, and share our stories with other kids who know what it's like to have a sibling with special needs. We at FSNCC know what an important role you play in supporting your brother or sister. At Sibshops and GALS, we want to celebrate YOU!

The Sibshops curriculum was designed by Don Meyer, director of the Sibling Support Project. It is used all over the United States, and in nine other countries worldwide! To learn more, check out the Sibling Support Project website. Make sure to also visit the Sibling Support Project Store for lots of helpful information & materials.

FSNCC's Sibshops program is for boys and girls in grades 2-6. GALS is for girls in grades 6 and up. Please click here for important information about this year's session fees and registration.
