Looking Back at 2024: A Year of Growth and Gratitude, Looking Ahead to 2025
As the new year inches ever closer, it’s the perfect time to reflect on 2024—a year filled with milestones, growth, and connection. Whether through training Certified Behavioral Sleep Specialists, speaking at conferences, or sharing sleep resources with thousands, 2024 has been nothing short of transformative for me and Ready Set Sleep.
A Year of Impact
This year, 93 new Certified Behavioral Sleep Specialists completed The Sleep Collective, bringing evidence-based sleep interventions to families and learners worldwide. With seven cohorts in 2024, I couldn’t be more proud of the passionate and dedicated professionals who are committed to delivering effective, ethical, and compassionate behavioral sleep treatments to the autism community..
Ready Set Sleep welcomed 333 new students this year, many of whom dove into the comprehensive Sleep Pro Bundle, which saw 438 enrollments—making it our most popular offering. And the online content? 13,000 visitors discovered insights, tips, and resources to improve sleep health and empower families through blog posts, newsletters, and LinkedIn articles. Over 2,000 of you have downloaded one or more of my online freebies, like my Sleep Resource Kit, Step-by-Step Guide to Developing Effective Sleep Plans, Screen Time & Sleep, and Bedtime Routine.

Speaking Highlights
From California to Wisconsin, 2024 gave me the privilege to speak at some incredible events and conferences. A few highlights:
February: California ABA Annual Conference
May: ABA International 50th Annual Convention
July: Behavior University Webinar (available now on-demand here)
October: Wisconsin ABA, BABAT Annual, and Oklahoma ABA Conferences, plus a Nashoba Learning Group webinar and the Stone Soup Conference
I’m truly grateful for the chance to connect with so many of you, to share knowledge, and to learn from your questions and experiences.

In terms of speaking, I’m thrilled to announce these events:

But there’s still room for more! If your regional ABA association or organization is hosting an annual conference in 2025, I’d love to be a part of it. My speaking topics include:
Ethical and practical considerations for sleep programming
Supporting sleep in the autism community
Navigating sleep and profound autism
And more!
From keynotes to workshops, my presentations are tailored to your needs and always informed by the latest research and practical, actionable strategies. Let’s make 2025 the year we elevate sleep programming in our field together.
