Supporting the Autistic Sibling Relationship – Webinar

This is a fully funded webinar delivered via Zoom by Head of Operations, Lynda Richardson and Autism Specialist Practitioner, Alice Munday. This session is aimed at families who have a child or young person who has a sibling undergoing the diagnostic pathway or with a diagnosis of autism.

Research has shown that living with a sibling who has a disability can impact on a young person’s wellbeing, educational attainment, and even lifelong achievements (Sibs. 2013). At The Toby Henderson Trust we recognise the importance of acknowledging just how hard life can be as a sibling to an autistic individual, but also (and perhaps more importantly) just how rewarding it can be too. This webinar will explore the challenges siblings face and how to support them in providing a secure base for their autistic sibling relationship.
