Students Survey Attitudes of Children Who Have a Sibling With Special Needs.

What a great project! Congrats to Elyse and Morgan Blueglass of Somers High School and Tyler Lipperman of Yorktown High School. Would like to hear others thoughts.

YORKTOWN, N.Y. -- A nationwide study of the behaviors, attitudes, and views of "typically developing" children was conducted by 3 high school students for their science research program. They are trying to make a difference in the lives of children and families that have a child with "special needs."
The survey was created measuring the typically developing child’s behaviors, attitudes, and views toward their sibling with special needs as well as their parents. They hoped that their survey-based research would be completed by a sufficient number of families so that it would produce enough results to analyze and identify trends in these family dynamics.
Few therapies and efforts are dedicated to helping the "TD" sibling with the challenges they face.
