Siblings of Children with Disabilities

Abstract

A combination of societal and legislative changes have made the lives of individuals with disabilities and their families more comfortable in comparison to the way things were throughout history. In vast areas of society, the accommodations and sensitivity offered to individuals with disabilities have created a less restrictive and more accessible environment to people with an array of challenges. Families of individuals with disabilities have also gained attention and now have a collection of services provided for their education and support.
