Sleep Support for Children Ages 2–12
When bedtime feels impossible and everyone is exhausted, generic sleep advice usually isn’t enough.
You need strategies that work for your child’s brain and your family’s real life.
As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and Certified Behavioral Sleep Practitioner based in Columbus, OH, I help families of children ages 2–12 create calmer bedtimes and more restful nights — especially when autism, ADHD, anxiety, or sensory differences are part of the picture.
Together, we look at the patterns behind your child’s sleep challenges and build practical strategies that actually work at home.
Why Generic Sleep Advice Often Doesn’t Work
Many sleep tips focus on quick fixes — but children’s sleep is shaped by many factors, including routines, environment, developmental needs, and how children learn to fall asleep.
That’s why my approach looks at the whole picture. Instead of relying on rigid programs, we focus on understanding the patterns behind your child’s sleep and making thoughtful adjustments that support healthy sleep skills.

Did you know that sleep struggles are incredibly common for kids with autism?
In fact, studies show that anywhere from half to more than 80% of children on the spectrum experience challenges like trouble falling asleep, frequent night wakings, or shorter stretches of rest. For many families, these disruptions can make daytime challenges like anxiety, hyperactivity, or big emotions feel even harder. The good news is that with the right strategies, better sleep is possible.
FAQs
-
As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), I have graduate-level training in Applied Behavior Analysis and am licensed by the Ohio Board of Psychology. This means I can conduct comprehensive behavioral assessments, identify the underlying causes of sleep difficulties, and create evidence-based intervention plans. Traditional sleep consultants typically focus on schedules and routines, while I address the behavioral, sensory, and developmental factors that may be impacting your child's sleep.
-
Absolutely! As a pediatric sleep coach, I specialize in working with both neurotypical and neurodiverse children. My Extended Support Sleep Package provides 6 weeks of comprehensive support and is designed for children who need more time and individualized approaches. My BCBA training allows me to address sensory processing issues, communication challenges, and behavioral factors that traditional sleep training doesn't consider.
-
No. My approach is family-centered and respects your values and comfort level. For children with autism or sensory differences, crying-it-out approaches can actually be counterproductive. Instead, I use gradual, behavior-based strategies that build positive sleep associations while supporting your child's unique needs. As your go-to child sleep consultant, we work together to develop a plan that feels right for your family.
-
As an experienced child and toddler sleep consultant, I’ve learned that every child and family is different. While some families begin to see positive changes within the first 1-2 weeks, others may need more time, especially children with autism, ADHD, or other developmental differences. That's why I offer my Specialized Sleep Support Package with 6 weeks of support. We'll work at your child's pace and adjust our approach based on their individual progress and needs.
-
That's exactly why my BCBA training is so valuable. I can conduct a comprehensive behavioral assessment to identify factors that other approaches may have missed - sensory issues, communication barriers, anxiety, or environmental factors that are interfering with sleep. My approach looks at the whole picture, not just sleep hygiene basics. Many families come to me after traditional methods haven't worked, and we find success by addressing the underlying behavioral factors.
-
A toddler sleep specialist helps families tackle common challenges like bedtime battles, frequent night wakings, or nap struggles. Instead of one-size-fits-all advice, they look at your child’s unique needs and create simple, gentle routines that actually work for your family so everyone can finally get the rest they need.
