This study surveyed reactions and preferences related to a support program for siblings of children with disabilities. Following participation in a support group, 40 school‐age siblings of children with disabilities completed a questionnaire about what they learned from the program and what program components they preferred. The results identified the benefits the participants received and the program components they preferred. Clinical utility is suggested for school personnel planning or implementing support programs for siblings of children with disabilities. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
