Welcome to SIBSNetwork

Welcome all siblings that live in Illinois that have a brother or sister with a disability!

After the first Sibling Conference (Sibling Connections) hosted by UIC in 2004 I was inspired to get siblings connected in Illinois. On AdultSibsNet siblings can discuss what it was like growing up with a sib who has special needs. Here we seek and share information about local services. We also discuss ways to advocate for our brothers and sisters. If you are interested in learning about ways to advocate for your sibling or interested in planning for the future, AdultSibsNet is a good place to start. Many members of this group are not only siblings, but in the field of disabilities as well.

About every six weeks or so we try to schedule a time to get together so we can have an opportunity to meet and have fun. We also try to schedule an outing that our brothers and sisters can participate in. This part of the group is completely optional.
