SIBLING NEEDS HELPFUL INFORMATION FOR PARENTS By Derenda Timmons Schubert, Ph.D. Pacific Northwest Children's Services Waverly Children's Home 3550 SE Woodward Avenue Portland, OR 97202 I. DEVELOPMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS WHAT DO YOU TELL..... 1. PRESCHOOLERS (BEFORE AGE 5) Children in this age group are unable to articulate their feelings about things, so they will likely show their feelings through behaviors. They will be unable to understand the special needs of their sibling, but they will notice differences and try to teach their brother or sister. Children of this age are likely to enjoy their sibling because they have not learned to be judgmental, and their feelings toward their siblings will likely be linked to "normal" sibling interactions. 2. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AGE (6 - 12) These children start venturing out into the world and become acutely aware of the differences between people. They have the ability to understand a definition and explanation of their sibling's special need as long as it is explained to them in terms they can understand. They may worry that the disability is contagious or wonder if something is wrong with them, too. They may also experience guilt for having negative thoughts or feelings about their sibling as well as, guilt for being the child who is not disabled. Some typical responses of children this age are to become OVER helpful and well-behaved or to become non-compliant in order to obtain a parent's attention. Throughout this age span, the children will have conflicting feelings about their sibling. This happens in sibling relationships that do not include a disability, too.

Our organizations from their very beginnings have shared a steadfast commitment to improving the education, health and welfare of all children. We believe that Parents + Teachers = Achievement for Children and Youth. When parents, teachers and school staff work together, our children are in the best possible environment for reaching their full potential. We believe that every child can learn; however, we understand that the way each child learns may vary. Students with disabilities deserve the resources and help they need to learn in an environment with their nondisabled peers to the fullest extent possible. Parents, teachers and school staff need to know what assistance is available and the process for obtaining it. We must be proactive in seeking the programs and services necessary to help each child participate in all aspects of school and community life.

Special education means specially designed instruction, services or programs, provided at no cost to the parent, to meet the unique needs of students with disabilities. Special education services and programs may be provided individually to a student or in a group with other students with similar educational needs. Each school district's Committee on Special Education makes recommendations about appropriate special education services and programs, which are described in detail in a written plan for each child, known as the Indivdualized Education Program (IEP). Special education may include specially designed instruction or supplementary instruction and services provided in the general education class, help from a consultant teacher, resource room programs, special classes, home and/or hospital instruction or programs and services provided in other public or private schools.

HOME About Curriculum ENROLL ... Frequently Asked Questions WHY SPECIAL SERVICES? TOP A child with learning difficulties or attention problems may need some modification to a standard curriculum. Sometimes these can be minor adaptations, such as presenting lessons orally. Sometimes a different book format may be required. An individualized curriculum which works with the student's strengths in order to develop the weaker areas is the best teaching approach for a student with learning difficulties. For the home schooling parent, designing such a curriculum can be a real challenge. While a parent may be knowledgeable about a child's learning style, the parent may not know where to find appropriate materials to satisfy the academic requirement as well as fit the child's learning needs. The Special Services department at Seton works to help children with a range of difficulties, such as Attention Deficit, Downs Syndrome, and dyslexia. THE STAFF TOP The customized curriculum is designed by Cathy Gould who has been with Seton Home Study School since 1990, is teaching her own children at home, and is active in the local St. John's Parish support group.

Education Access to Independence: Education Education is the key to independence and future success; it is critical to obtaining work, and affects how much money one can earn. Before the passage of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 1975, which granted all children with disabilities a free, appropriate public education, many children with disabilities did not attend school because the buildings or class activities were inaccessible. Even now, 22% of Americans with disabilities fail to graduate high school, compared to 9% of those without disabilities. The National Organization on Disability (N.O.D.) believes that with enforced legislation, accessible classrooms, the respect of educators, and advances in assistive technology, students with disabilities can close that gap, and offers resources and information to assist in that effort.
