Autism doesn’t just impact one child — it affects everyone in the family. Siblings may wonder why their brother or sister sometimes gets upset or gets extra attention. We know parents can feel overwhelmed managing challenging moments with one child, which naturally may lead to siblings feeling overlooked sometimes.
That’s why family guidance during ABA sessions should go beyond just parents. Siblings also have the option to participate in therapy activities! During our ABA therapy sessions, we create opportunities for kids to play together, take turns, share, and handle winning or losing with good sportsmanship.
As children build more positive interactions with their siblings, they’re likely to respond with more kindness and empathy toward one another. Siblings are also valuable practice partners because they closely resemble the peers our learners meet in the world.
When siblings pitch in to teach and celebrate progress, they feel connected and proud — and that creates a stronger bond for everyone. If you’d like to learn more about how we create these special moments, we’d love to talk with you to share further details!
