Parents of children with special needs strive to integrate their child with the normal environment. They try to make their child with special needs as independent as possible so that they are not felt as a burden to others after their lifetime. The constant worry of who would take the responsibility of their special needs child remains in them no matter how independent the child is.A country like India does not have a good social support network like the developed countries for the special needs adult to live alone which makes the worry worse for parents living in these countries.

Responsibility
Every person with special need requires support for their living once the natural parents move out of their life.Every parent strives to make them independent in their day to day activities, may be some skill to earn some finance and in addition provide some funds for maintaining themselves.
Who can take over this responsibility it is the siblings who understand the person with whom they were brought up.The special needs adult may be able to look up to them as a guardian and the sibling can easily accept the person with whom he or she has grown up.
After all these the worry persists- will they provide his emotional needs the love and affection to make them feel wanted?
