SLEEP SUPPORT SERVICES
When rest feels
out of reach, we can help.
Sleep disruption affects the whole family. Our behaviour-based sleep coaching is designed for autistic children and youth in Ontario delivered by our Sleep Specialist and Registered Behaviour Analyst.
40-80 %
of children with autism experience significant sleep difficulties
WHO WE WORK WITH
Sleep challenges we address
🌙 Difficulty falling asleep independently or resisting bedtime routines
😰 Anxiety or sensory sensitivities that interfere with settling
⏰ Frequent night wakings and prolonged nighttime awakenings
👨👩👧 Co-sleeping transitions and bedtime dependency on caregivers
🌅 Very early rising that disrupts family routines
📋 Sleep plans that haven't worked — we'll start fresh with data
Sleep challenges in children with autism are often driven by a combination of sensory sensitivities, environmental factors, and learned behaviour patterns. We use Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) to understand the function of your child’s sleep-related difficulties to inform an individualized intervention plan for lasting change.
We meet your child and family at the stage you are at, and design strategies you can realistically carry out at home.
