Sibshops

• Sibshops are opportunities from brothers and sisters of children with disabilities and special health care needs to obtain peer support and education within a recreational context.
• The workshops are lively celebrations of the many contributions made by brothers and sisters.
• Sibshops acknowledge that being the brother or sister of a person with special needs is sometimes a good thing, a not-so-good-thing and often in between. Sibshops are for siblings, between the ages of 6 and 14, of children with special needs.

Respite

•  Parents of children with special needs rarely have the opportunity to take a break.   Enjoy this opportunity to have go shopping, have a spa day, take a nap, or just have a break.  Your     child with special needs will have fun playing with their buddy, and exploring the Simple Life Center. 
• Volunteers and donations are always appreciated.  Contact Brandy Parks, Sooner SUCCESS County Coordinator to let us know how you can help.
