Beyond the ZZZ's
The neurodivergent sleep course for parents. If your child has ASD, ADHD or sensory differences, standard sleep advice wasn't written for them. This course teaches you how their nervous system actually works, and what may help them settle, in your own time, at your own pace.
Enrol in Beyond the ZZZ'sCreated and taught by Jessinta Benton, AHPRA registered paediatric occupational therapist.
What you'll walk away with
Five modules. One bonus. Zero guessing.
Understanding Sleep and the Neurodivergent Brain
How autism, ADHD and sensory processing differences influence settling, night-time alertness, anxiety patterns and delayed sleep onset.
Why it matters: when you understand how your child's brain processes sleep differently, you stop blaming behaviour and start responding strategically.Regulation and the Nervous System
A clear explanation of how your child's nervous system moves between calm, alert, overwhelmed and shutdown, and how that directly affects sleep.
Why it matters: sleep depends on the body feeling safe. This module teaches you how to help create that safety.The Sensory-Smart Sleep Environment
Lighting, sound, textures, movement input, deep pressure, temperature and bedroom setup, simplified and practical.
Why it matters: small sensory adjustments to the environment are often the fastest place to start.Routines Without Rigid Control
A step-by-step framework for bedtime structure, transitions, connection rituals and sleep independence strategies.
Why it matters: consistency builds predictability, and predictability lowers anxiety.Targeted Strategies for Common Challenges
Specific approaches for bedtime resistance, early rising, frequent night waking, co-sleeping transitions, anxiety at lights-out, and second-wind kids.
Why it matters: you'll know exactly what to try at 7pm, 10pm and 3am, without guessing.Bonus: Monitoring Progress and Troubleshooting
Simple tracking tools and adjustment guidelines so you can see what's working and tweak what isn't.
Why it matters: sleep isn't linear. This keeps you steady when progress fluctuates, instead of giving up.Built for some families. Honest with the rest.
