Sibling Support for Children

This year, Ohio SIBS  has made great strides in sibling support for children. We have partnered with the Sibling Support Project, The Department of Developmental Disabilities, and local county boards to bring “Sibshops” to local Communities.
Sibshops are peer support and education programs for young siblings of people with developmental disabilities.
We have partnered with the following county boards of developmental disabilities: Athens, Knox, Marion, Mahoning, Miami, Ottawa, Ross, and Wood to increase local access for siblings across the state of Ohio.
