Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
Sibling relationship is ascribed and not an achieved status. Most of us have a sibling or a two. If any one of the siblings have any kind of disabilities then the life of other siblings in the family would not be normal. They undergo various experiences as being part of the family and at sometimes as a caretaker of the siblings with disability. Understanding their sibling‟s disability, sibling relationships and attitude toward disability, the birth order of the siblings, gender and age spacing between them plays a pivotal role in the well-being of the siblings without disability. The well-being of the siblings without disability is disturbed or affected owing to the disability status in her/his siblings. This paper discusses the experiences of the doctoral research work being undertaken in the field of disability and Social Work in general and in siblings and disability in particular.
