Abstract

This phenomenological study investigates the role of creative arts in supporting siblings of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) through a structured single-session intervention in Kuching, Sarawak. The research examines 25 sibling pairs participating in creative arts activities, employing pre and post assessments, observational data, and artwork analysis to understand the immediate impact of creative engagement on sibling relationships and family dynamics. Findings reveal significant improvements in sibling communication and emotional expression through artistic engagement. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on family support systems in autism care, particularly highlighting the potential of brief creative interventions in supporting sibling relationships.
