Announcing the SibKids and SibNet Listservs

The Sibling Support Project of the Arc of the United States is pleased to announce SibNet and SibKids.  SibNet and SibKids are the Internet's only listservs for and about brothers and sisters of people with special health, developmental, and emotional needs.

 Both SibKids (for younger brothers and sisters) and SibNet (for older siblings) allow brothers and sisters an opportunity to connect with their peers from around the world.  Both listservs have members from the US, Canada, Australia, England, Japan and elsewhere.  SibNet (started in 1996) and SibKids (started in 1997) are remarkably warm, thoughtful, and informative communities where young and adult brothers and sisters share information and discuss issues of common interest.

 Anyone who has email can subscribe to SibKids and SibNet.  For a no-cost subscription and to learn more about SibKids and SibNet, please visit the Sibling Support Project's Web Page (see address below).  Finally, if you have further questions about SibKids, SibNet, our Sibshops or the work of the Sibling Support Project, please contact:

The Family seems to be the most effective and economical system for fostering

 and sustaining the child’s development.

  Without family involvement,  intervention is likely to be unsuccessful,

And what few effects are achieved  are likely to disappear once the intervention is discontinued.
