Autism, Anxiety & Sleep
Finally, you can get sleep help from a certified specialist!
Having a neurodivergent child or a child with additional needs can be challenging… particularly if they aren't sleeping and bedtimes are a huge battle. Whatever your struggle is, there’s no doubt it affects the entire family.
It’s a fact that 80% of autistic children struggle with sleep. It’s not because you did something ‘wrong’ and it’s certainly not anything to do with how you are parenting your child.
Good sleep is essential for brain development, growth, developing social skills and mental health. Lack of sleep is not something you just need to accept for you or your child. We need to get your child the best sleep possible, so that they can truly flourish.
Autism and anxiety often go hand-in-hand and one of the keys to improving sleep will be implementing bespoke, effective strategies to reduce anxiety. Traditional sleep training approaches will have little or no effect when working with neurodivergent children , which is why seeking help from a qualified specialist is the key to long-term sleep success.
What makes me the sleep specialist who will transform sleep for your child?
Unlike most sleep consultants, my background is in education and I have been working with children with autism and additional needs for over 20 years. Many of the autistic children I worked with during my teaching career had struggled with sleep, which meant I witnessed first-hand what a detrimental effect poor sleep had on their academic progress and mental health. It always saddened me that there didn't seem any professional support available for these families.
After working as a sleep consultant for several years and having huge success, I found myself having to turn away families of children who had specific or additional needs. It was this that helped me make the decision to train as a certified Autism and Anxiety Sleep Specialist. I have first-hand experience and in-depth knowledge of what is specifically required to improve your unique child’s sleep. In Summer 2024 I also certified as a PDA Specilaist.
Working closely with autistic children who have very unique and diverse needs has allowed me to gain a deep understanding of the challenges both children and parents face on a daily basis. My training and experience mean I know exactly what is needed to establish a consistent and calm nighttime routine and the strategies we can implement to promote independent sleep and reduce anxiety.
If you’re looking for a sleep consultant who is going to understand your child’s needs, who is a qualified specialist and has first-hand experience, then you are in the right place. I will help you to fully understand autism, anxiety and most importantly, how to improve your child’s sleep and set them up for long-term sleep success!
You no longer have to feel alone and lost when it comes to helping your child get the best sleep possible. Your child’s sleep can be improved and they can overcome their sleep struggles. You no longer need to do this alone.
