About this course
If bedtime feels like a battle — and staying asleep feels like a lottery — you are not alone. Many neurodivergent children find it genuinely hard to settle and to stay asleep, and there are real reasons why.
This 30-minute webinar walks you through what can make sleep so tricky for neurodivergent children, looks at common challenges families face, and shares practical, sensory-based strategies you can try at home.
You will also receive a copy of the presentation slides to refer back to, plus two additional PDFs: our OT sleep tips sheet and a Sensory Circuit guide.
