Sleep and Your Special Needs Child

By Antonia Chitty and Victoria Dawson (Robert Hale, £12.99)

The importance of sleep in children's development is well known and has links to health, mood, behaviour and learning ability. Children with additional needs are more likely to have sleep disorders than typically developing children, and without intervention these problems will persist into adolescence and beyond. Victoria Dawson is founder of the Children's Sleep Charity and Antonia Chitty is a health writer. They address sleep problems using a highly successful behavioural and cognitive approach to sleep management.

It is the first book to explain these approaches in detail.
