• Sibling Support Group

    Spectrum Autism Support Center 2997 Main St, Duluth, GA, United States

    Siblings of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have specific concerns and needs related to life with autism. Spectrum offers a special group just for siblings ages 5-12 one Sunday afternoon month facilitated by trained leaders, adult siblings. The program involves group discussion, arts & crafts and games and utilizes the SibShop curriculum by Don Meyer, which was specifically designed for children with siblings with special needs.

    Program Description :
    Sibshops are pedal-to-the-metal events where they will meet other sibs, have fun, laugh, talk about the good and not-so-good parts of having a sib with special needs, play some great games, learn something about the services their brothers and sister receive, and have some more fun.
