The Experience of a Latina Sibling of a Disabled Person

Today I am joined by Suyapa Ulloa, where we discussed how belonging to an immigrant family can shape how disability is talked about and handled within the family. We explored how caregivers/parents can support the mental health of non-disabled siblings, navigating moments of resentment without shame, and resources to support disability justice and inclusion. Suyapa shares her immigrant family's journey navigating their dynamic with a disabled child and reflects on her experience as a non-disabled elder sibling.
