Meneses Maples refers to herself as an adult “glass child,” the sibling of a person with a mental or physical disability.
How does a glass child disappear?
It is important not to assume what the needs of a glass child are, said Missud, the New York psychotherapist.
More than a decade after her TEDx presentation, Meneses Maples receives messages from parents of glass children seeking her advice.
Meneses Maples said she hopes to inspire research on glass children by spreading the word through presentations and workshops.
