This handbook provides an overview of the nature, prevalence, and
causes of sleep problems in children with autism spectrum disorder
(ASD) and examines the process of using functional behavior
assessment (FBA) to treat sleep disorders. It describes several
evidence-based treatments and explores how these align with the
outcomes of the FBA process, including case illustrations of the
assessment and treatment process. The handbook discusses the
application of FBA in family contexts, including: The effects on
children and families of successful interventions with sleep. How
to conduct FBA with clinically complex families. Including the
child in the intervention. The evidence of efficacy of other
treatment approaches. The handbook addresses sleep problems that
are highly prevalent among children and young people with ASD,
including sleep onset delay, frequent and prolonged night waking,
and unwanted co-sleeping. It explores the profound secondary
effects that sleep problems may have on children's daytime
functioning as well as child and parent health and wellbeing. The
handbook discusses the causes of sleep problems in individuals with
ASD, which may be multifaceted and complex and include
physiological, environmental, cognitive etiologies yet almost
always have a behavioral or learned component. It examines how FBA
can be used to characterize challenging behaviors and identify the
antecedents (e.g., environmental context) and consequences that
affect such behaviors. The volume details the process of using FBA
to assess and treat sleep problems in children with ASD. Clinical
Handbook of Behavioural Sleep Treatment in Autism is a must-have
resource for clinicians, therapists, and other practitioners as
well as researchers and graduate students in clinical child and
school psychology, behavioral therapy, social work, public health,
developmental psychology, pediatrics, family studies, and child and
adolescent psychiatry.
