Self-reported support needs and available support resources for siblings (6-12 years) of children with intellectual disability and/or visual impairment in the Netherlands and Belgium: do they match? ...

Having a brother or sister with a disability can impact the well-being and mental health of their siblings. For example, in a recent meta-analysis it has been found that siblings of children with chronic health conditions ‘may be at increased risk of depression’ (Martinez et al., 2022).
