Siblings play an important role in families and in the lives of autistic children.
Some researchers have found that siblings of children with autism can experience heightened stress, responsibility and emotional difficulties.
At CliniKids, we offer a group program (CliniSibs) and 1:1 program (Sib Support) designed to support siblings of autistic children. The program focuses on supporting the sibling to understand autism better, as well as learn strategies to enhance their own wellbeing and resilience. Sibling support is facilitated by experienced psychologists.
