Supporting Siblings of Children with ASD

Supporting Siblings of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Having a child with autism spectrum disorder can present unique challenges for family members, especially siblings. Information, services, supports, and resources are often focused on the autistic child or the parents. This webinar offers information about the experiences of elementary and middle school – aged siblings of autistic children. We also discuss strategies for supporting siblings and resources available to families, with a particular focus on a sibling support group offered at the NYU Child Study Center.
