WisconSibs Sibshops are workshops for children and teens who are brothers and sisters of children with disabilities or long-term illnesses.
Youth Sibshops (ages 8-12) are a spirited mix of new games (designed to be unique, off-beat and appealing to a wide ability range), new friends and discussion activities.
Teen Sibshops (ages 13-17) focus on self-esteem building, peer connections and topics related to being a sibling of someone with a brain-based disability through activities and discussions.
Sibshops are guided by trained facilitators (school psychologists, teachers, counselors or adult siblings, for example) in small, age-appropriate groups. All are trained in sibling issues, and we always keep an eye open for any participants who may need additional support.

ACEing Autism is on a mission for children with Autism to grow, develop and benefit from social connections and fitness through affordable tennis programming, uniquely serving individual needs while filling a national void for this growing and worthy population.
This program teaches individuals with disabilities how to ride a conventional bike and become a lifelong independent rider! Success in learning to ride a bicycle is a major accomplishment for attendees and builds confidence and an improved self-image. Nothing is more inspiring than seeing a group of bike camp participants ride a conventional bike completely independently. By the end of the five-day camp over 80% of riders learn to ride their bikes completely independently.
