Across the country and around the world, many brothers and sisters of individuals with disabilities are coming together online to  share similar challenges and joys that are unique to the sibling experience.

If you are looking for sibling services in your local community in New York, of if you are interested in connecting with others in order to start a sibling group in your area, you can post messages and exchange information with siblings and service providers from across the state at sibsNYcommunity.

One of the longest standing forums for online communication among siblings are listservs which enable sibs to post (or just read) messages and share information and support. SibNet is one of the oldest and most popular listservs connecting siblings from across the country.

From Australia to Japan, New York to the United Kingdom, the siblings of individuals with disabilities are using blogs to share their experiences, explore their roles as siblings, and finding that the bonds we share often transcend language, culture and geographic borders.

Through Facebook, siblings are coming together through a variety of communities, including those for Siblings of people with autism, Siblings of people with Down syndrome and groups such as the Sibling Leadership Network and SibNet.
