“…Rambo performed parenting roles to assist his single mother, even though such parentification is more common in females (Gillies and Lucey, 2006). This finding adds new knowledge to disability literature, as parentification has been reported in siblings without disabilities (Barr and others, 2008), but not in children with disabilities.…”

“…The participants displayed older sibling concern, protection and caregiving (Such and Walker, 2004). Their concern for their siblings’ welfare reciprocated the concern often described for siblings without disabilities (Barr and others, 2008; Connors and Stalker, 2003; Pit‐Ten Cate and Loots, 2000). Rambo provided ‘typical’ older brother physical protection (Gillies and Lucey, 2006; Hadfield and others, 2006), which is noteworthy given the physical nature of his disability.…”

“…For Keeta, ambivalence could have resulted from parental treatment favouring her sister (Richmond and others, 2005). This was another important finding, as disability literature to date has only explored the impact of parental differential treatment favouring the child with the disability (Barr and others, 2008; Pit‐Ten Cate and Loots, 2000; Stalker and Connors, 2004).…”

This exploratory study explored the experience of being an older sibling, from the perspective of children with disabilities. A phenomenological approach was used to investigate the experiences of 10 children with disabilities. The participants described engagement in older sibling roles that they perceived to positively influence their sense of self. In most instances participants perceived family dynamics, gender and personality to be more influential on this engagement than their impairment. Children with disabilities engage in a diversity of roles as an older sibling. These roles need to be respected and built upon in family centred‐practice to enable children to fully contribute to family life.

“…Behavioral outcomes have been identified in siblings of children with speech and language disabilities that can mediate sibling aggression and include jealousy, resentment, and loss of parental attention (Barr et al 2008). Siblings of maltreated children are also at an increased risk of abuse in households in which parents have mental health problems, frequent use of alcohol and drugs, intellectual disabilities, and a history of abuse in childhood (Hamilton-Giachritsis and Browne 2005).…”

The focus of this paper is children with disabilities exposed to a broad range of violence types including child maltreatment, domestic violence, community violence, and war and terrorism. Because disability research must be interpreted on the basis of the definitional paradigm employed, definitions of disability status and current prevalence estimates as a function of a given paradigm are initially considered. These disability paradigms include those used in federal, education, juvenile justice, and health care arenas. Current prevalence estimates of childhood disability in the U.S. are presented within the frameworks of these varying definitions of disability status in childhood. Summaries of research from 2000 to 2008 on the four types of violence victimization addressed among children with disabilities are presented and directions for future research suggested.

BackgroundThe FOCUS© is a new outcome tool for use by both parents and clinicians that measures changes in the communicative participation skills of preschool children. Changes in communicative participation skills as measured by the FOCUS were compared across three groups of children: those with speech impairments only (SI), those with language impairments only (LI) and those with both speech and language impairments (S/LI).MethodsParticipating families (n = 112, 75 male children) were recruited through 13 Canadian organizations. Children ranged from 10 months to 6 years 0 months (mean = 2.11 years; SD = 1.18 years) and attended speech-language intervention. Parents completed the FOCUS at the start and end of treatment. There were 23 children in the SI group, 62 children in the LI group and 27 children in the S/LI group. The average amount of the children's therapy varied from 7 to 10 h.ResultsThe FOCUS captures changes in communicative participation for children with a range of communication disorder types and severities. All three groups of children made clinically important improvements according to their FOCUS scores (MCID ≥ 16 points). The FOCUS captured improvements in intelligibility, independent communication, play and socialization.ConclusionsThe FOCUS measured positive changes in communicative participation skills for all three groups of children after 7–10 h of speech-language therapy. An outcome measure that targets only specific speech and language skills would miss many of the important social function changes associated with speech-language treatment.

Abstract: As part of family-centered practice, speech-language pathologists need to be aware of the important roles that siblings play and should routinely include siblings in assessment and intervention.
