Appropriate information to give to a parent who wants to support the siblings of a child with special needs includes helping the siblings see the differences and similarities between themselves and the child with special needs to promote an understanding environment.The parent should be encouraged to allow the siblings to participate in activities that do not always include the child with special needs,to limit caregiving responsibilities,and to allow the children to settle their own differences rather than step in all the time.
