The Vanderbilt Kennedy Center for Research on Human Development will host a workshop for children who have a sibling with special needs on Saturday, Feb. 14, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Sibshop workshop is an activity-based learning retreat for children ages 7 through 12 who have a sibling with special needs. The concept was developed to lend siblings peer support and education in a fun and interesting atmosphere.
The Sibshop is free and open to the public. To register, contact Elise McMillan at 343-2540.
Sibshops are a collaborative effort with several different disability groups throughout the Nashville area. This is the second of four Sibshops the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center will host throughout the year. To learn more about Sibshops, visit http://kc.vanderbilt.edu/kennedy/community/sibshop.html.
