THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF SIBLINGS OF A CHILD WITH HEARING IMPAIRMENT

Summary/Abstract: Preserving a family, known as the base of society in the modern way of life is a great challenge. Preserving and maintaining a family where there is one hearing impaired child creates a large amount of pressure for parents, who must learn to balance between a child with a disability and a child with none. By noticing and diagnosing a child’s disability, parents are forced to face a whole new way of life. Raising a child with a developmental disability is a journey into the unknown, it is not uncommon for a marriage to fall into crisis, and family is constantly exposed to stress and numerous obligations. With the misunderstanding coming from the wider family about the problems they face and the social community that does not provide adequate support, they must learn how to raise both children. How equally they will treat them is crucial to the development of a harmonic sibling relationship. With an adequate approach and proper upbringing, a child with disabilities creates special bonds among members of the family that contribute to their faster maturation, greater maturity, responsibility and independence of siblings.
