Abstract

Objective: The study elucidates how to achieve a high status of education, income, and subjective well-being for typically developing (TD) siblings of individuals with special needs (SN). Methods: This questionnaire survey included 732 adult TD siblings with a brother or sister with SN in Japan. Results: The study obtained responses from 483 adult TD siblings, deducing that TD siblings with high status of education, income, and subjective well-being are characterized by an environment promoting open communication between TD siblings and their parents regarding the problems faced by their siblings with SN. Conclusions: Strengthening the relationship with TD siblings from the perspective of attachment formation is important for parents to establish the future status of education, income, and subjective well-being of TD siblings in Japan.
