Special Needs Siblings

Special Needs Siblings Special Needs Siblings is a building a community that strengthens the sibling voice. This has been known to cause different problems, ex.

We began Special Needs Siblings in May 2016 with the hope to bring awareness and support to our special needs community. We found in speaking with parents and siblings that there is a great need to support the siblings in the special needs families. The parents are too often strained emotionally, financially, and physically when dealing with their disabled child that sometimes the typical child do

es not get the same needed attention. resentment, anger, jealousy. There were also greater possibilities of behavior issues with the siblings of special needs siblings. We additionally noticed that the siblings are often full of compassion and empathy for others in greater capacities than their peers. Our goal is to be able to strengthen the family and sibling bond. Our communities do so much for the disabled individual, but we would like to go one step further by bringing recognition and attention to the siblings who stand by them.

This story hit home.

Not because it’s rare… but because it’s common.

So many siblings of disabled individuals grow up adjusting, helping, and carrying more than people realize.

And then one day… they’re expected to carry it forever.

They can love families AND still need support.

They can show up AND still deserve a life of their own.

If we’re going to talk about supporting families in the disability space…
we have to include the siblings.

At every age.

💓Even at a young age siblings can sense that things aren't the same between themselves and their brother or sister. This can be a source of great pain as they grow older, but acknowledging this truth can be therapeutic.

It's not easy, but it's honest. Sibling relationships are vital in our families. It is crucial to recognize this because usually they will survive the parents.
Family is important. Healthy relationships are important.

We are here to continue to build awareness to this part of our families! 💖

How is 'fairness' discussed within your family? 💓
