Autism sleep clinic
Many children with autism have poor sleep patterns. From complex bedtime routines to night waking and early morning waking, every child is different. But there is something you can do about it.
The autism sleep clinic is here to help. For fifteen years, we’ve been running regular workshops and one-to-one appointments for parents and carers. Our experts offer practical advice and tailor-made sleep programmes to suit your child. Because poor sleep doesn’t have to be a lifelong pattern.
Why is sleep important?
A good night’s sleep can make a huge difference to our daily life. Sleep can help us stay healthy, improve our mood and is super important when it comes to learning.
If sleep (or lack of) is an issue in your family, the good news is you can do something about it.
We're here to help
Many children with autism have sleep problems which can have a devastating impact on the whole family. That’s why our autism sleep clinic exists. To help you understand what’s affecting your child’s sleep, and how you can improve things.

Our workshops are split across two sessions. Each session lasts 2.5 hours and is jam-packed with practical info and helpful tips about sleep.
In your first session, we’ll look at some of the factors that affect our children’s sleep. In the second session, we look at strategies that can help your child to sleep well.
We’ll then offer you a follow-up appointment the next week and you’ll receive a sleep programme that’s individualised to meet your child’s needs.

We can arrange follow-up contact to suit your needs. We can do this in person, by phone or over email. Whatever works best for you.
