Problematic sleep patterns are abundant across the Autism community. When sleeplessness begins impacting family wellness, it also predictably begins to impact a consumer’s progress, increases rates of undesired behaviors, and can affect caregiver participation.
Equipping professionals with the tools to analyze and treat common sleep problems is an excellent step toward improving consumer outcomes and client satisfaction.
