Sleep solutions for children on the autism spectrum.
About the Presentation:
Our focus will be on discussing sleep and considerations for autistic individuals. This presentation is for you if you are a parent of a toddler, school-aged kid and teens! I will use different case examples and real plans to ensure you leave with strategies that could support your child and my hope is that you leave with actionable steps you can implement today. Sleep challenges are common among autistic children, and finding the right approach can make a significant difference. Your active and engaged participation and questions are encouraged as we navigate these strategies together.
