First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 04, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study looked at whether typically developing siblings can be trained to help their brothers or sisters with autism improve reading and social skills. The approach used a teaching method called model-lead-test, where the sibling shows, practices, and gives feedback. The study was terminated early and only enrolled 8 children, so results are very limited.
