Course Description

Sleep challenges are highly prevalent among children with autism and related developmental disabilities, often leading to increased daytime behavior concerns, caregiver stress, and diminished treatment outcomes. Despite its critical role in learning and behavior, sleep remains an under-addressed area in behavior analytic practice. This webinar equips BCBAs with the foundational knowledge and practical tools needed to assess and support sleep-related concerns within their scope. Participants will better understand the impact poor sleep has on their learners, learn to identify factors that contribute to sleep disturbances, and implement evidence-based strategies to address common sleep challenges. Whether supporting families in the home or through the school settings, this webinar bridges the gap between science and practice, empowering EVERYDAY BCBAs to improve the quality of life for their learners and families through simple and practical strategies.

  2. Identify key variables that influence sleep onset, activity levels, and duration in school-aged autistic learners.
