Young Siblings of Individuals with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities: Common Experiences

SLN Founder, Don Meyer and Sibling Support Project Executive Director & SLN Board Member Emily Holl write about key points in the sibling experience and offer pointers on supporting siblings in this article in Impact.
“Over the course of the lifespan, siblings spend a significant amount of time with each other, particularly in early childhood. The sibling relationship is usually the longest-lasting relationship in a family, and brothers and sisters will likely be involved in the life of the child who has special needs longer than anyoneā€”including the childā€™s parents.”
