Abstract
dc:description.abstractSleep problems are prevalent in children with neurodevelopmental disabilities such as autism spectrum disorders. Inadequate sleep can negatively affect the child's daily functioning as well as serve as a source of stress for the child's family. Although there is a growing body of literature aimed at improving sleep difficulties in children with disabilities, there is less known about sleep difficulties in children with autism spectrum disorders and a particular paucity in regard to treatment for sleep problems. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the effectiveness of a behavioral treatment package designed to reduce bedtime resistance and night awakenings in children and apply this technique to children with autism spectrum disorders.
