Product Description:

Siblings of people with all types of disabilities face unique concerns across the lifespan. Without adequate information and support, young siblings often grow up resenting the attention given to their brother or sister with disabilities; as they age, adult siblings often feel overwhelmed by care-giving responsibilities that were previously managed by parents. We believe that an early and solid foundation of support for siblings helps them develop into well-adjusted adults who can advocate effectively, alongside their brothers and sisters with disabilities, well into the future.
