reviewed Special Siblings: Growing up with Someone with a Disability on January 18, 2016
Special Siblings
This was a great book to get a feel for how siblings feel toward their special needs sibling. It gave me a great insight as t0 some areas to discuss with my children about their brother, and things that I should keep in mind for them all while they grow together. I would recommend this to any parent of a special needs child as well as their siblings, or for that matter anyone that has a special needs person in their life.
