SPECIAL NEEDS PROGRAMS

Sibshops

Brothers and sisters of children with disabilities now have a chance to meet monthly and talk with other kids whose brothers and sisters have special needs. They'll have an opportunity to talk about the good and not-so-good parts of having a sibling with a disability. Brothers and sisters may have feelings that are difficult to express, even to a friend: sadness that a sister cannot learn things that others take for granted, anger when a brother's behavior problems prevent the family from doing things other families do, or the special pride with a sibling with a disability learns a basic but important life skill after months or years of practice. At Sibshops, siblings will share these feelings with others who truly understand. Most importantly though, Sibshops are fun! Participants play new games, cook lunches, and make new friends. Small participation fee.

Kids On The Block Puppet Shows

This puppet troupe talks to children (ages 4-12 years) with humor, candor, and sensitivity about topics of disability awareness, social concerns, educational differences, and medical issues. In upbeat, insightfully scripted presentations and a period following in which young members of the audience get to ask questions directly to the characters, the Kids On The Block provide children with an unforgettable educational experience because the "kids" so vividly and effectively model relationships between disabled and non-disabled people. Topics include: cerebral palsy, Down Syndrome, learning disabilities, bicycle and car safety, and hearing impairments. The Kids On The Block puppet performances are great for school classrooms or can also be presented during youth activity programs. Free service. Contact Candy Weber at 225-3297 to schedule a show.
