Offer to help educate others in the schools or neighborhood. Possibly visit the child s school to talk about the disability or invite children over. Give the siblings an opportunity to meet other siblings in a relaxed, recreational setting. Find a sibling group or network with other parents to allow the sibling to meet others who are in the same circumstance, or to discuss feelings that may be difficult to express to the family. Remember that parents set the tone for the family.
Children look to their parents for ways to deal with the disability.
