Research and Implications for Siblings of Individuals with Disabilities Across the Globe
In this session, we describe the findings of two studies about siblings of individuals with disabilities. The first study examines the experiences and support needs of Canadian adult siblings during COVID-19. From this study, participants can learn about resources and initiatives during the COVID-19 pandemic. The second study will examine the experiences of adult siblings in the United States, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan, with two specific aims: to (a) understand their future planning experiences and (b) identify any similarities and differences in future planning participation and relevant factors across four countries. From this study, participants will develop an understanding of the cross-cultural sibling experience.
