What We Do

Ohio SIBS is a grassroots organization of siblings of people with disabilities that came together in 2000 to acknowledge the sibling role in the life of a person with a disability. We support siblings throughout their lifespan by connecting them with resources and creating a community of siblings that support the disability community.

Our Mission…

is to empower siblings and advocates to create a better world inclusive of people with disabilities

Virtual SIB Talks

Sib Talk is a virtual information series designed for adult sibs anticipating or living the life of a caregiver for their sibling with a disability. The monthly gatherings are just over an hour and are designed for learning, practical application, networking, and support.

The 2024 series will focus on resilience, building a good life (developmental disability services, community supports), and planning well for the end of one (future planning, financial and estate planning). More than just information we also want to support sibs to integrate what they learn into current and future life plans by using basic Charting the LifeCourse tools.
