Sleep Beyond Diagnosis:

Occupational Therapy for Better Sleep in Neurodivergent Children

Sleep is a vital part of a child’s health and wellbeing, and difficulties with sleep can affect daily routines, participation, learning, and family functioning.

Occupational Therapists are qualified health professionals who can help with:

  • Understanding the routines, habits, and environments that impact sleep

  • Supporting children with additional needs or developmental differences (including ADHD, autism, and sensory processing challenges)

  • Providing evidence-based strategies to improve sleep quality and consistency

  • Helping parents and carers feel confident in managing sleep routines at home

Sleep support is focused on education, routine-building, and environment-based strategies, rather than medical interventions.
