Who we are
Ohio SIBS is a grassroots advocacy organization dedicated to supporting and empowering siblings of individuals with disabilities. We recognize the critical role that siblings play in the lives of their brothers and sisters—both in childhood and throughout adulthood. Through education, advocacy, and community-building, we provide resources and support to help siblings navigate their unique journey while ensuring their loved ones with disabilities lead fulfilling and independent lives.
Our Mission is to empower siblings and advocates to create a better world inclusive of people with disabilities.
Our Vision is a connected community that leads, supports, and advocates with people with disabilities.
We are a State Chapter of the Sibling Leadership Network
We believe…
Individuals with disabilities have the same rights as all members of society to dignity, respect and the opportunity to grow and to be productive members of their communities.
Siblings of individuals with disabilities can have a powerful, positive impact on their siblings’ experiences, and are uniquely positioned to help ensure their present and future care in partnership with service organizations and government.
In promoting the rights of our brothers and sisters, and of all individuals with disabilities, we are committed to advocating for policies and services that meet their needs.
Siblings can be of great support to one another to enhance both our lives and the lives of our siblings.
