MD - Having a brother or sister with special needs can be a scary, interesting, embarrassing, wonderful, frustrating, and eye opening experience for a young child. There are so many questions to ask that parents are not always able to answer. This exciting program offers siblings constructive and informative group activities like game play and cooking classes, to intersperse information and inspire discussion, fun and camaraderie among the children.
Registration is required and offered on a first come, first serve basis.
Please note that a number of scholarships are available. Donations to the scholarship fund are welcome and appreciated. Sibshops is a collaborative effort by Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital, Abilities Network, Baltimore County Public Schools Office of Special Education, Baltimore County Infants and Toddlers, Maryland Infants and Toddlers, and Parents' Place of Maryland. For over 76 years, Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital has provided inpatient, outpatient and home-based care for infants and children with rehabilitation and other complex medical needs.
