155 Words1 Pages
This empirical, quantitative study examined the effectiveness of the Sleepwise intervention program which is a parent-assisted group-based treatment for sleep disturbance which was recently adapted for older children and adolescents with developmental disabilities. Twenty-six families with children aged 8–17 years participated. The study compared a treatment and a wait-list control group at baseline, post-treatment and 2 months post-treatment on measures of child and parent functioning. Results demonstrated that the Sleepwise approach was effective in reducing sleep disturbance and parent stress. Sleepwise is a manualized intervention which involves educational workshops for parents, and employs behavioral, sensory and communicative strategies.
