During this workshop we’ll discuss the concerns and opportunities frequently experienced by brothers and sisters of people with special needs. Participants will be able to share what they have observed in their own families or the families they serve. We’ll also learn what researchers, clinicians, and siblings themselves say about growing up with siblings who have special needs. This workshop will provide helpful insights into siblings’ issues across the lifespan.
