Loving my sibling with special needs
Siblings share a special relationship, but how does this relationship change and shape a person when one of these siblings has special needs? How does this bond evolve as siblings grow up, speeding through milestones like graduating and starting their first jobs?
We speak to Michelle Wang, 23, and her brother, Joseph Wang, 21, about their relationship and growing up together. Watch the video below to catch a glimpse into their precious bond.

Siblings have a special and irreplaceable role in the lives of Persons with Intellectual Disability (PWIDs), and may eventually take over as the PWID’s caregiver. We hope for more in the community to understand the unique joys and struggles that siblings of PWIDs may face as they journey through the different phases of life with their sibling with special needs.
Growing up and caring for a sibling with special needs is no simple journey. MINDSibs supports individuals across all ages who have siblings with special needs through fun, educational and meaningful programmes tailored to life-stage-specific needs.
