The relationship between brothers and sisters is likely to be the most long standing one that any sibling will experience, which is
why many parents express concern about the likely effects on a family when one child is diagnosed with a chromosome disorder.
Parents know how difficult it can be to manage all the needs of any family. If a family has a child with special needs there are
extra emotional and practical demands on your time and energy. The whole family will need support to adjust to this change in
circumstances. Most siblings cope very well and sometimes gain strength from their childhood experiences. Parents’ reactions
and attitudes to their child’s disability are important. It can influence the way siblings accept and learn to value their brother’s or
sister’s individuality. |
