“…Parents' descriptions of these experiences suggest that they were invaluable in terms of offering support, advice and a chance to meet with others who really understand. These findings are consistent with studies that have examined the benefits of mutual support groups for parents of children with disabilities (Byrne, Cunningham, & Sloper, 1988;Solomon, Pistrang, & Barker, 2001). Facilitating opportunities for mutual support amongst parents of children with eating disorders, whether through organizing a parent support group, providing a telephone list of parents willing to exchange numbers, or linking people into already existing support systems, could be a simple but vital adjunct to treatment.…”

“…Siblings can be an important source of support to each other throughout life. Numerous researchers have found that the relationship between children with disabilities and their siblings is usually very positive [Graliker et al, 1962;Carr, 1973Carr, , 1985Gath, 1973;McHale et al, 1986;Abramovitch et al, 1987;Stoneman et al, 1987Stoneman et al, , 1989Byrne et al, 1988;McHale and Gamble, 1989;Bägenholm and Gillberg, 1991;Brody et al, 1991;Roeyers and Mycke, 1995;Fisman et al, 1996].

“…Siblings of children with severe disabilities have reported that they have fun playing with their siblings, feel strong loyalty, interact with their siblings on a daily basis, and are aware of the children's activities and developmental gains [Wilson et al, 1989]. Carr [1995] and Byrne et al [1988] found that the quality of relationships between children with Down syndrome and their siblings grew more positive over the period of childhood.…”

“…To a lesser degree, support was also provided by speech-language therapists, pediatricians, family members, another mother with an infant with Down syndrome, and an occupational therapist. The participants in general received support from a combination of professionals and non-professionals which is regarded as a positive intervention option by Byrne, Cunningham and Sloper (1988). Mothers with infants with Down syndrome have a unique advantage over professionals since they have firsthand experience of feeding problems, and are able to share concerns, advice and emotional support with another mother in a similar situation.…”
