Sleep Information Pack for parents and carers with autistic children and young people.

To mark World Sleep Day on 14 March 2025, a Sleep Information Pack has been produced for parents and carers with autistic children and young people, who have problems with their sleep routine.  

The author Clare Jenkins Designated Clinical Officer, Special Educational Needs and Disabilities has included tips and advice for parents, and carers on how to create and start a sleep routine for their child or young person.

It asks parents and carers to look at family dynamics and create something that suits everyone involved in the sleep routine. It gives tips on how to change old habits for new ones and how to explain them, either visually and with time references, or talk through the new sleep routine for ease of understanding and what to expect. The key tip is - perseverance.

The Sleep Information Pack also includes some useful website links that offer support and advice.
