This group, ages 8-15, is for siblings of children with special needs. Given the varied age range, the students may break out into age appropriate groupings and discussions.  The program will meet 3 times this year to discuss common issues particular to being a sibling of someone with special needs.  Topics discussed will include:  what it is like to have a special needs sibling; how to talk about their sibling with friends; how to handle the strong emotions involved; helpful books and resources.
