Abstract:
A systematic literature review identified fourteen studies published between 1980 and 2002 that addressed the reciprocal nature of sibling interaction when one sibling presents with a developmental disability. Variables of birth order, chronological age, age gap, sex composition, gender, and type and/or degree of disability were studied as possible contributing factors to difference in interactional patterns among siblings. This research found that the primary difference between siblings, frequency of role symmetry and social reciprocity, is influenced primarily by the presence of a sibling with a disability rather than any other variable studied. Suggested methods of increasing the frequency of sibling role symmetry and social reciprocity as a family-centered intervention are given.
