The goal of this observational study is to investigate the specificity of the growing up process in young people with disabled siblings. The functioning of adolescents with disabled siblings as a person growing up in three environments will be examined: family, peers and school. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does having a disabled sibling influence the functioning of a healthy child in the family system? - Do siblings of disabled children show a higher level of maturity than their peers with properly developing siblings? - Does having a disabled sibling modify a child's functioning among peers? - Does having a disabled sibling modify healthy adolescent's educational experience? - Is there a greater risk of psychological disorders among siblings of disabled children than among siblings of normally developing children? The 160 participants' dyads will take part in the study: healthy adolescent having disabled sibling and one of his/her parents. The parents' participation is necessary to assess the presence of possible internalizing and externalizing disorders among adolescents taking part in the study. The healthy adolescent will be filling out questionnaires regarding the remaining studied variables: functioning in the family - siblings relations, parental attitudes; at school - school achievement, extracurricular activities; relations with peers - time spending with peers, number of friends, as well as the growing up process trajectory - parentification and the way of going through an adolescent crisis. Researchers will compare four groups (40 dyads in each group): three groups of adolescents having disabled sibling 1) intellectual disability, 2) motor disability, 3) chronic somatic disease, and 4) control group - healthy adolescent having sibling without any disability, to see if they differ from each other referring to the studied variables.
The purpose of this study is to investigate a behavioral intervention with foster families.
In the United States, over 32.7 million people have special health, developmental, and mental health concerns. Most of these people have typically developing brothers and sisters. Across lifespan, siblings share high levels of involvement in each other's lives, and many of the concerns that parents of children with special needs experience, including isolation, a need for information, concerns about the future, and caregiving demands. Brothers and sisters also face issues that are uniquely theirs including emotions (resentment, worry, embarrassment, guilt), peer issues, and family communication challenges. The team of researchers, developers, and consultants propose to build and test assistive a media enhanced web-application tool for developing knowledge, skills, and routines for attending to TD siblings' (ages 3-5) social-emotional health and well-being.
