As soon as I feel like I have a handle on the terminology in the disability community, I come across something new. Like "Glass Children." I'd never heard of this until a few months ago. In this episode I share a bit about who Glass Children are and what parents and the community at large can do to help make sure that kids with disabled siblings feel SEEN and heard.
