Research Topics: Support for children and adults with disabilities Support for siblings and families of children and adults with disabilities Supporting young carers

comment: It is known that siblings of children with disabilities face various conflicts from school age, and that these worries and conflicts will continue throughout their lives, yet support for siblings is not sufficient.
Although it is not possible to change their circumstances, I would like to research ways to support siblings so that they can make the choice to live their own way, despite their worries and conflicts, through meetings and activities with siblings in the same situation from school age onwards, and through a psychological education program called ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy).
