"The authors show parents how to evaluate both daytime and nighttime habits and routines—exercise, lighting, caffeine consumption, bedtime preparation, sleep environment—to identify causes of impaired sleep and make necessary modifications. Parents are then taught to use strategies—social stories, visual schedules, visual cues, rewards—to help their child get ready for bed, fall asleep, and stay asleep." - PUBLISHER'S WEBSITE
