Strategies to Promote Healthy Sleep in Kids with Disabilities
Wednesday, May 1, 2024
11:00 a.m.
Live, on-line presentation on ZOOM
Sleep is a common area that children struggle with. Alison Moser, M.Ed., BCBA has helped sleep train many children and teens who have difficulty: falling asleep at an appropriate time, staying asleep throughout the night, staying in their bed the entire night, and waking up early. The strategies presented in this webinar are “tried and true” in many research journals over decades of sleep studies. We will review general strategies to help promote healthy sleep while reviewing more detailed strategies depending on what type of sleep difficulties your child is having.

The Emergency Health Profile allows individuals to voluntarily create a free emergency health profile to provide first responders with their vital health and medical information (behavioral health related information included) when calling 9-1-1 during an emergency or crisis. Individuals over the age of 16 may sign-up for an Emergency Health Profile through the Emergency Health Profile Association. Legal guardians may sign up individuals under the age of 16. This team will also discuss 988 and options to call during a behavioral/mental health emergency, and what you can expect.
