SIBTime: Media-enhanced Technology for Promoting the Behavioral Health and Family Relationships of Typically Developing Young Siblings
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating SIB-Time Web-Application Tool for Family Relations and Sibling Relations. Completed, enrolled 43 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
In the United States, over 32.7 million people have special health, developmental, and mental health concerns. Most of these people have typically developing brothers and sisters. Across the lifespan, siblings share high levels of involvement in each other's lives, and also many of the concerns that parents of children with special needs experience, including isolation, a need for information, concerns about the future, and caregiving demands. Brothers and sisters also face issues that are uniquely theirs including emotions (resentment, worry, embarrassment, guilt), peer issues, and family communication challenges. The team of researchers, developers, and consultants built and tested an assistive media enhanced web-application tool for developing knowledge, skills, and routines for attending to TD siblings' (ages 3-5) social-emotional health and well-being.
