Special Needs Siblings
Do you know families of children with disabilities Do you know families of children with disabilities AND typically developing siblings age 3-to-5? If so, please share! This is a first for formal support for preschool age Sibs! The Sibling Support Project is helping to develop an app for busy parents of children with disabilities to use with their preschool age, typically developing children. They are seeking 20 additional families to help test the SibTime app. Families are compensated $75 for using the app for 2 weeks and providing feedback. . .#Repost @siblingsupportproject โžก๏ธDM is for more information!! . . . . @special_needs_siblings @specialneeds_supermoms @siblingleadershipnetwork @blackdisabilitycollective @p2pusa #disability #siblings #siblingsupport

Sibling Stories w/ @mandertron ยท ยท ยท One t Sibling Stories w/ @mandertron ยท ยท ยท One time like 10 years ago we were in the ER laying on the ground to get X-rays because his feet couldnโ€™t fit on the table. He hates hospitals and I remember him looking at me with so much fear, a tiny baby tear rolled down his cheek. Two seconds later the X-ray tech farted so loud, it echoed through the entire chamber. This guy was so embarrassed, and even though I tried to pretend like I didnโ€™t hear it, Ben starts laughing LOUD. I kept telling him, โ€œBen, stop. Shhh, donโ€™t laugh ok?โ€ Which of course only made him laugh harder and louder. The tech had to keep retaking the images because Ben was cracking up so hard that he couldnโ€™t stay still๐Ÿ˜‚ By the time we got settled in this room, Ben had fallen asleep with tears still welled in his eyes but he had a sweet smile, too. Iโ€™ll never forget watching him sleep and just feeling so amazed by him. Even though he was crying, he was still laughing. Weโ€™ve had so many experiences and theyโ€™ve taken us on a wild roller coaster. Road trips, 6,478 doctor appointments, van shopping, a hundred trips to Disneyland, I donโ€™t even know how many hospital stays, surgeries, lots and lots of seizures, dance parties, getting trapped in an elevatorโ€ฆ I donโ€™t know what else life is going to throw at us but Iโ€™m taking deep breaths right now because there hasnโ€™t been anything wrong with Ben the last couple weeks, since the beginning of October 2020. Heโ€™s back to his normal self and Iโ€™m just taking a pause in gratitude, trying not to fear the next thing that comes. Being his caregiver can take a toll, but heโ€™s the center of my universe and Iโ€™m so grateful I still get to kiss him everyday. And make fart noises at him๐Ÿค
