National Survey about Siblings of Individuals with Disabilities, their Support Needs, and their Families

The Sibling Leadership Network is studying the support needs of siblings of individuals with disabilities through a survey called the National Survey about Siblings of Individuals with Disabilities, their Support Needs, and their Families. The purpose of the Sibling Leadership Network is to promote a broad network of siblings who share the experience of disability and people concerned with sibling issues by connecting them to social, emotional, governmental, and provisional supports across the lifespan enabling them to be effective advocates for their brother and sister, and to serve as change agents for themselves and their families. The network is looking for anyone who would like to share their perspectives.

The survey could be completed by any of the following:

• Siblings of people with disabilities;
• People with disabilities;
• Parents of people with disabilities; and
• Professionals working with people with disabilities and their families.

This is an online survey that takes less than 30 minutes to complete and is available in both English and in Spanish.
