Program Description
Sleep difficulties in children can create a large number of struggles, both for the child and the members of their household. Although pediatric sleep issues are common, many clinicians do not know where to begin as to how best to address these issues. Child sleep difficulties relate to a wide range of behavioral and physical health problems, including anxiety, depression, conduct disorders, ADHD, learning challenges, and later diabetes and heart disease (Armstrong, Ruttle, Klein, Essex & Benca, 2014). Basic sleep interventions can have profound effects on children’s overall psychological and physical health, and are accessible to pediatric mental health providers.
Training elements include:
Definition and characteristics of the common childhood sleep disorders
Behavioral interventions for bedtime refusal, nocturnal awakenings, and pediatric insomnia
Adaptations for special diagnoses- ADHD and autism spectrum disorders (ASD)
Differentiation of more complicated sleep disorders and referral to sleep specialists.
Learning Objectives
Based on the content of this workshop, you will be able to:
Identify and describe the common childhood sleep disorders
Identify the characteristics to ADHD that increase vulnerability to sleep disruption and interventions to address these vulnerabilities
Identify the characteristics of autism spectrum disorders that increase vulnerability to sleep disruption and interventions to address these vulnerabilities
List parental behaviors that can improve pediatric sleep continuity
AUDIENCE
This program is appropriate for licensed psychologists and other mental health practitioners who utilize cognitive behavioral therapy approaches. Training is at an introductory level.
