The development and evaluation of a support group for siblings of children on the autism spectrum / Julie COOKE in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 11-1 (May 2010)

Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 11-1 (May 2010) . - p.23-30 Titre : The development and evaluation of a support group for siblings of children on the autism spectrum Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Julie COOKE, Auteur ; Catrin SEMMENS, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.23-30 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Parents often express concern about the effects on their other children of having a brother or sister with autism or Asperger syndrome. The literature suggests that there are positive effects (as evidenced in the two articles which appeared in the October 2009 issue of the GAP Journal). There are also potential difficulties for them in terms of getting their fair share of their parents’ attention and in having their play and life disrupted. There is a growing literature on how to support siblings but still not enough initiatives offered by services or schools for these children. This paper is therefore welcomed as it provides ideas on how to work with siblings who may not know one another but who have a common bond in having a brother or sister on the autism spectrum. The workshop sessions described provide a forum for enhancing their knowledge of autism, discussing their feelings and developing strategies to manage some of the situations they face.
