Sibshops were featured on PBS's A Place of Our Own ! See the video and meet the Aranda family!
Sibshops were the cover story for April's Seattle's Child! We think the author did a great job of portraying what Sibshops are all about!
In 2005, ABC News’ 20/20 show did a segment on sibling issues and Sibshops. It featured a remarkably insightful young woman, her brother who has autism, and their mom. This segment has been posted to YouTube and is introduced by Barbara Walters—herself the sibling of a sister who had a developmental disability. We think you’ll like this piece!
SibNet, the world's first listserv for adult siblings of people with disabilities is now on Facebook, too!
There are now over 270 Sibshops worldwide! Find one in your community!
The Sibling Support Project is a proud member of the Sibling Leadership Network. Please read the Sibling Leadership Network's White Papers regarding sibling research, policy and advocacy, and services and supports.

Introducing SibParent!
SibParent: A place where parents of kids with special needs can talk about their “other” kids.
On the Internet, there are hundreds of listservs where parents can talk about their kids who have special needs. But there is only one listserv where parents can discuss the joys and concerns experienced by their typically developing children. Like the Sibling Support Project’s other listservs, SibParent is a warm, thoughtful community. SibParent is hosted by Andrea Congdon, a mom of children with and without special needs and a Sibshop provider and enthusiast. If you’re a parent who’s concerned about the well being of all your kids, we hope you’ll join us!
