Disabled persons are much talked and written about these days, although still too few problems concerning this group are brought up. The situation of disabled childrens siblings has almost been forgotten. Yet it is the abled siblings of a disabled brother or sister who is confronted from their earliest years with human sufferings and often with emotional deficiency from their parents. They are often faced with the problem of making decisions which are frequently determined by the fact of having a brother or sister with a disability. The contact with a disabled sister or brother can significantly lead in a abled child to maturity, sensibility, responsibility, tolerance, altruism and social commitment. All depends on the appropriate treatment of a disabled and abled child by their parents. If patents do not neglect or overburden the abled child, then most conflicts can be avoided and the disabled sister or brother will benefit from the presence of their abled siblings.
