Sleep Support for Children Ages 2–12
Difficulty falling asleep, frequent night wakings, early mornings, or needing a parent nearby can affect the whole family.
I look beyond basic sleep tips to understand what's contributing to your child's sleep difficulties and develop strategies that fit your child's needs, your family's routines, and your goals.
As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and Certified Behavioral Sleep Practitioner, I provide specialized sleep support for children ages 2–12, including children with autism, ADHD, and other developmental differences.
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.
The SEA Sleep Framework™
A simple, evidence-based process I use with every family.
Set the Stage
We strengthen the foundations that support healthy sleep — including routines, environment, schedule, and clear expectations.
Empower Independence
Using gentle, step-by-step strategies, we help your child build confidence falling asleep more independently.
Adjust & Anchor
We fine-tune strategies and reinforce new patterns so sleep becomes predictable and sustainable.
This framework allows us to create sleep solutions that work for your child’s development, temperament, and your family’s comfort level.

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) and Certified Behavioral Sleep Practitioner, I look beyond sleep schedules and bedtime routines to understand the factors that may be contributing to your child's sleep difficulties.
My background in behavior analysis allows me to look closely at patterns in your child's sleep, routines, environment, and behavior and develop strategies based on your child's individual needs. This can be especially helpful when sleep concerns are persistent, complex, or connected with other behavioral or developmental needs.
-
Yes. I have extensive experience working with children with autism, ADHD, and other developmental differences.
Sleep can be affected by many factors, so I take the time to understand your child's individual sleep patterns, routines, sensory needs, behavior, and environment. Recommendations are tailored to your child and family rather than relying on a preset sleep plan.
I also work with neurotypical children experiencing sleep difficulties.
-
No. I don't use a one-size-fits-all sleep training method or require families to use an approach they're uncomfortable with.
We'll look at what's contributing to your child's sleep difficulties and discuss strategies that fit your child's needs and your family's goals and values. If building greater sleep independence is one of your goals, we can work toward it using an approach that feels appropriate for your family.
-
Every child and sleep concern is different, so there isn't one timeline that applies to every family.
How quickly sleep changes can depend on factors such as the type and complexity of the sleep concern, your child's individual needs, and how they respond to the strategies we're using. We'll monitor what's happening and make adjustments when needed rather than expecting your child to follow a predetermined timeline.
-
Many families reach out after trying routines, sleep tips, or other approaches without seeing the changes they hoped for.
Rather than simply adding another strategy, we'll take a closer look at what's contributing to your child's sleep difficulties. Understanding the patterns surrounding sleep can help us identify why previous approaches may not have been effective and determine what to try differently.
-
A pediatric sleep specialist helps families understand and address sleep concerns such as difficulty falling asleep, frequent night wakings, early waking, bedtime resistance, and difficulty sleeping independently.
My work with toddlers uses a behavioral approach that considers your child's sleep patterns, development, routines, environment, and family goals. Recommendations are individualized rather than based on a single sleep-training method.
