When researching families of children with Down Syndrome, I came across the "Down Syndrome Association of Greater Cincinnati".
http://www.dsagc.com/index.asp
This website had a lot of information for families of children with Down Syndrome. They have programs that are designed to support the families of children or adults with Down Syndrome. They also have family events and outings in the area. The events are inexpensive or free and give the families a chance to network with other familes. Events like this could give the siblings a chance to meet other children that they have things in common with. The children with Down Syndrome have the opportunity to make friends as well as the siblings and parents.
I'm still trying to research more information on the effects of having a sibling with Down Syndrome. I would like to find someone that is a sibling of someone with Down Sydrome that I could interview.
