Description

Siblings of children with special needs face unique emotional challenges throughout their lives. In clear and compassionate terms, Strohm explores the often secret feelings of siblings and offers valuable strategies for coping with the challenges that come up. Able siblings commonly struggle with feelings of isolation, grief, anxiety, and anger -- feelings that can arise in childhood and can persist into adulthood. Strohm is the director of a program that provides resources and support for siblings of children with special needs. This book is based on her own experience as a sibling of a sister with cerebral palsy and on extensive interviews she conducted with siblings of all ages. “The book brims with insight, practical advice, and support.”
