Autism and Anxiety Sleep Coaching
Autism and Anxiety Sleep Specialist Service
Up to 80% of children with autism face challenges with sleep, which can lead to sleep deprivation and nightly struggles that affect the entire family. Many parents often feel as though they might have done something wrong to cause these sleep difficulties, but I want to assure you that this is not the case. Traditional sleep solutions may not always be effective when there are unique needs to consider. That’s why a personalised, tailored approach, designed specifically for your family, is essential for achieving success.
Are There Effective Strategies for Improving Sleep with Autism? The simple answer is: there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Every child has unique sleep needs, which is why we’ll collaborate closely to create a plan that’s right for your child. Through an in-depth questionnaire, sleep log, and our consultations, we’ll develop a tailored sleep plan with actionable steps to be implemented gradually. These steps will vary depending on your child’s specific needs, and the timeline for progress will differ accordingly. While autism itself does not directly cause sleep issues, it can contribute to sleep disturbances. Many children with autism experience irregular sleep patterns, heightened anxiety, sensory processing challenges, or hyperactivity. These factors can make it difficult for them to both fall and stay asleep, and must be considered when developing an effective plan.
We offer support for babies, toddler and children who struggle with sleep.
What to Expect from Autism and Anxiety Sleep Coaching
The Process
The Process The journey begins with a complimentary phone consultation where we’ll review your child’s current sleep patterns and daily routines. This initial discussion will allow me to assess whether I’m the right fit to support you. If we agree that we’re a good match, we’ll move forward with a comprehensive evaluation of your child’s specific needs and the challenges they face, with a special focus on how these factors affect their sleep.
The coaching program includes a detailed consultation, ensuring that the personalised sleep plan we create addresses your family’s specific needs. We’ll focus on identifying the root causes of sleep difficulties, learning how to avoid triggers, and working toward lasting improvements in your child's sleep. If needed, we also offer ongoing follow-up support to help you feel more confident in understanding and managing your child's sleep needs. We will monitor progress closely, make any necessary adjustments, and ensure that long-term sleep success is achieved.
