Unapei publishes study on siblings of people with disabilities

Unapei published a study on September 23, 2026, examining the lives of brothers and sisters who grow up with a sibling living with a disability. The research, released by a network of more than 300 associations, explores how a sibling's disability impacts their life choices and personal experiences.

According to reports from La Croix and Aleteia, these siblings are often highly involved in caregiving but remain less visible than parents. The study seeks to give a voice to these individuals, who frequently view their specific family circumstances as a source of personal richness despite the responsibilities they carry.
