Interviews with 24 children ages 9 to 13 about life with their younger siblings who had severe handicaps revealed a consistently high level of involvement, strong feelings of responsibility, and an emphasis on positive aspects of family life. Hardships were not denied, but these children appeared to be faring better than children studied in earlier research, before schooling for children with handicaps and other supports for their families were mandated.
对24名9至13岁孩子进行的访谈显示，与有严重残疾的弟弟妹妹一起生活时，他们普遍参与度很高，责任感强烈，并且强调家庭生活的积极方面。困难并未被忽视，但这些孩子似乎比早期研究中的孩子过得更好，早期研究是在为残疾儿童提供学校教育和其他家庭支持成为强制性要求之前进行的。
