Abstract

The purpose of this 3-hour webinar is to provide attendees with an understanding of the types of sleep problems that young children experience and the types of sleep problems that can be addressed successfully with behavioral interventions. Sleep problems are prevalent among children diagnosed with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD). These problems are unlikely to abate without treatment, resulting in adverse long-term effects on the daytime functioning and well-being of individuals with ASD, their siblings, parents, and others. Understanding and addressing sleep problems requires viewing behavior that facilitate and disrupt healthy sleep through the lens of a contingency. Functional assessment is an iterative process designed to identify the contingencies that maintain falling asleep and those that maintain problem behavior that interfere with sleep onset. Through this process, caregivers and clinicians are more equipped to craft an individualized, function-based, and consumer-friendly treatment programs for individuals diagnosed with ASD whose sleep is chronically disturbed. The goal of this presentation is to (a) provide an introduction of the types of sleep problems that young children experience, (b) discuss the core behavioral model of sleep, (c) describe the common variables that influence sleep and sleep problems and (d) discuss a functional assessment process for sleep problems in young children.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this event, participants should be able to:

• Identify of the types of sleep problems that young children experience.
• Identify types of sleep problems that are more likely to be successfully addressed with behavioral sleep interventions.
• Identify examples and nonexamples of reasonable sleep goals.
• Identify common variables that maintain sleep problems.
