Siblings Day
A special day for the brothers and sisters of children with disabilities
Saturday, April 18th
8:30 AM - 4:30 PM
Madison, WI
Having a child with disabilities or special needs affects everyone in the family,
including their siblings. Yet, the relationship between these siblings can have a
powerful impact on how children react, respond and empower each other as
they grow.
Sibs Day is an opportunity for school-aged youth who have siblings with disabilities to acknowledge the differences that exist while building relationships with
their peers who understand what it means to have a loved one with disabilities
or special needs. Cost is $7 per youth, and includes activities, lunch, t-shirt
and book. A short presentation at the end of the day will be followed by a pizza
party for the entire family.
Pre-registration is required. Call the Epilepsy Foundation at (608) 442-5555
for more information or to sign up.
This is not a school-sponsored activity and the Madison Metropolitan School District
