The focus of my group project was on families with multiple children where one has special needs and the others are typically developing. The following is a list of online resources that I found helpful during my research on this topic:
University of Michigan Health System - Siblings of Children with Special Needs
Hopeful Parents - Grassroots Support for Parents of Kids with Special Needs
EduGuide - I'm Special too: Parenting Siblings of Children with Special Needs
SOS Research Blog - Brothers and Sisters of Kids with Special Needs
