Over the last several years, the two women -- Schaffer is a licensed clinical social worker who has worked extensively with families of children with special needs; Chess is a certified school psychologist with 30 years experience who is also a mother of a severely disabled daughter -- have interviewed dozens of siblings, produced a film from their interviews, facilitated sibling groups and presented to parent and professional audiences.
Through their work, they've learned that having a chance to spend time with other siblings who have similar family issues is a very helpful and positive experience.
"The Sibling's Voice" continues at the Larchmont Mamaroneck Community Counseling Center (LMCC) with a new group starting May 12.
