Days Out With Siblings
Share
Growing up with a sibling who has special educational needs and disabilities doesn’t mean life has to be drastically different. Siblings often share many common experiences, from the way they communicate to their favorite outings and games. However, they may also need space to connect with other children who truly understand their unique home life and experiences.
Siblings of children with SEND may experience feelings of rivalry, conflict, communication challenges, resentment, guilt, and a sense of unfairness. Charities offer vital support, providing family days out, events, activity groups, and guidance to help families navigate these challenges. The organisations listed below offer a crucial space for children with SEND siblings, many of whom may feel overlooked or isolated. These activities give them the opportunity to simply enjoy being kids, connect with others who understand their experiences and have fun.
