Abstract	Parenting a child with special needs is a unique experience that significantly impacts the entire family, particularly siblings. These relationships encompass a spectrum of emotions and responsibilities, ranging from deep empathy and pride to feelings of neglect or frustration. Understanding how these dynamics evolve can offer valuable insights for fostering healthier family systems. Sibling relationships in families with a child who has special needs can vary widely, influenced by factors such as the type of disability, the family’s coping strategies, and external support systems. This paper examines both the positive and negative impacts of these dynamics, supported by empirical evidence, and offers practical strategies for nurturing strong sibling bonds.
