Title: Developmental Disorders Affecting Sleep: Trauma, Neurocognitive, and Motor Conditions
Overview: This session will first discuss the intersecting components of sleep that affect all children, regardless of development and/or diagnosis. This training explores sleep from a whole-child perspective that accounts for nutrition, gut-health, and other factors that influence sleep consistency and quality. We will then discuss the specific sleep considerations for children affected by unique developmental experiences and how to develop inclusive strategies for those families.
