Sleep Support
Improving Sleep
Many children experience difficulties with their sleep which can mean from time to time, children may have difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep. Sleep can help us stay healthy, improve our mood and is super important when it comes to learning.
A good night’s sleep can make a huge difference to our daily life. Parents and carers who struggle to manage their child’s sleep also say it often affects their own wellbeing too.
We know that children with additional needs and disabilities are more likely to experience problems with sleep. However, supporting your child with proven strategies and techniques can really make a difference, meaning they are much more likely to sleep better.
By accessing the resources you can learn how to help your child sleep well from their early years through to adolescence.
