Inclusion of siblings in therapy sessions can be challenging. It can also be fun and doable, and alleviate the concerns of the parent that therapy is all about the child with the hearing loss and their feelings of leaving the other children out. This presentation explores some of those dynamics and offers examples of how siblings can be incorporated into therapy and communicative learning activities with children in auditory-verbal therapy.

Additional Course Information
The sibling relationship is potentially the longest relationship in our lifetime. The hearing siblings of a child with hearing loss/deafness encounter unique opportunities and dynamics during the relationship. Literature about siblings of children with disabilities provides us with insight as to their roles in the family, perspectives of the sibling relationship, and how it affects their lives. It is well proven that the role of the parents and family affect outcomes of children with hearing loss. The role of the siblings is no less important. Children want to play and communicate with their siblings, especially in the early years. Inclusion of siblings in therapy sessions can be challenging. It can also be fun and doable, and alleviate the concerns of the parent that therapy is all about the child with the hearing loss and their feelings of leaving the other children out. This presentation explores some of those dynamics and offers examples of how siblings can be incorporated into therapy and communicative learning activities with children in auditory-verbal therapy.
