Experiences of adult siblings of those with developmental coordination disorder (DCD): a qualitative study

“…In particular, they described how having a diagnosis of DCD gave their sibling access to appropriate support, how it seemed to have made them a better person with increase empathy and resilience, how the participant themselves and their family had also benefitted by becoming likewise more resilient and open to difference and how the sibling with DCD had managed to live a successful and fulfilling life achieving the respect and admiration of those around them. Therefore, in line with criticisms of a maladjustment framework (Cuskelly, 1999), and research indicating benefits for siblings of those with other developmental disorders such as ASD (Mulroy et al, 2008;Moss et al, 2019), the results from the present study indicate benefits not only to the person with DCD but also those around them.…”

“…For example, Milevsky (2014) concluded that siblings of children with disabilities may be at greater risk of developing emotional difficulties such as anxiety and depression. This maladjustment framework, however, has been criticised for neglecting the potential benefits of growing up with a sibling with a condition (Cuskelly, 1999). Some research has therefore started to focus on the positive consequences of growing up with a sibling with a disability suggesting that siblings of those with intellectual disabilities, chronic illnesses or developmental disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) may exhibit elevated levels of tolerance, understanding, caring and empathy (Mulroy et al, 2008;Moss et al, 2019).…”

“…constructs that remain hidden in quantitative research (Bourgeault, Dingwall, & De Vries, 2010). Finally, the findings suggest that the discrepancies in previous research could be the result of diverse methodologies (Bluebond-Langner, 1996), rather than failure to control for variables such as age, gender, injury severity, and family relationship patterns (Cuskelly, 1999;Lobato, Faust, & Spirito, 1988).…”

“…στο Furman και Buhrmester, 1985. Καθώς το ενδιαφέρον των ερευνητών για τη μελέτη της αδελφικής σχέσης αυξανόταν, κατασκευάστηκαν ψυχομετρικά επαρκή εργαλεία, τα οποία ήταν περιεκτικά και αξιολογούσαν περισσότερα χαρακτηριστικά της αδελφικής σχέσης (Cuskelly, 1999˙ Roberts, Winefield, & Furber, 2016). Από τα διαθέσιμα εργαλεία, αυτά που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν περισσότερο είναι η κλίμακα Sibling Inventory of Behavior (SIB) των Schaefer και Edgerton (1981) και η κλίμακα Sibling Relationship Questionnaire (SRQ) των Furman και Buhrmester (1985).…”
