Supporting Siblings of Children with Disabilities in the School Setting: Implications and Considerations for School Counselors
Hannon, Michael D.
Journal of School Counseling, v10 n13 2012
This conceptual manuscript argues the utility of school counselors developing knowledge of and competencies to respond to the socio-emotional needs of the siblings of children with disabilities. The discussion informs readers of the range and diversity within this population, shares how the ecological contexts shape their experience and identity, and details how school counselors can leverage their skills to meet needs that emerge for this population as a result of their unique experiences.
