Traditional face-to-face behavioral interventions are hindered by accessibility. Using a single-case design, this study evaluated the efficacy of a stepped-care telehealth-delivered behavioral sleep intervention (TDBSI). Method Seven Autistic children (aged 4-8) and their parents participated in a 12-week program consisting of baseline plus three sequential intervention phases: (1) self-directed online parent psychoeducation, (2) small group parent coaching via video conferencing, and (3) individualized parent coaching via video conferencing. Parent strategy selection and implementation fidelity were closely monitored and rated across intervention phases. Child sleep outcomes were assessed through daily parent-reported sleep diaries and the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire. Results Five of seven parents used online parent education to independently select antecedent strategies (e.g., sleep hygiene, stimulus control) and/or rewards that were appropriate for their child?s sleep and implemented them with high fidelity. This resulted in reductions in sleep onset latency, night wakings, early wakings, and bedsharing for their children. Parent implementation fidelity and child sleep outcomes were further improved for all participants with group or individualized coaching, and results were maintained at 12 weeks and six months post-intervention. Conclusions TDBSIs show promise in addressing sleep difficulties in Autistic children, warranting further investigation and replication.

Attributions, causal beliefs, and help-seeking behavior of parents of children with autism spectrum disorder and sleep problems / Laurie MCLAY in Autism, 24-7 (October 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 24-7 (October 2020) . - p.1829-1840 Titre : Attributions, causal beliefs, and help-seeking behavior of parents of children with autism spectrum disorder and sleep problems Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Laurie MCLAY, Auteur ; Sarah G.

Without effective treatment, such problems are unlikely to resolve. To date, we know very little about how and why parents of children with ASD seek help for sleep disturbance. Via an online survey, we gathered information about how parents make sense of their children's sleep problems, beliefs about their causes, sources of information, and help-seeking behavior. The analysis of responses from 244 parents revealed that parents commonly view sleep problems (a) as a consequence of their child's ASD, and unlikely to change over time (stable), and (b) as located within the child (intrinsic), stable over time, and difficult to treat. Despite this, parents also rated sleep problems as being important to treat. Eighty-two percent of parents surveyed reported seeking some kind of help for their child's sleep disturbance, and the average parent had tried six different treatment strategies, most commonly medical approaches (e.g. melatonin). The alignment between parents' treatment choices and those strategies that are supported by research was poor, but belief in the effectiveness of treatments was closely related to how often the treatment was used. These findings have important implications for parental education and clinical practice in the treatment of sleep problems in children with ASD.

Collateral Child and Parent Effects of Function?Based Behavioral Interventions for Sleep Problems in Children and Adolescents with Autism / Laurie L. MCLAY in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 52-5 (May 2022)

Concomitant with reduced sleep problem severity, improvements were found in children's internalizing and externalizing behavior and ASD symptom severity. Small improvements were also found in maternal sleep quality and parental stress. There was little change in parental relationship quality post-treatment, possibly reflecting high baseline scores. Overall, collateral benefits were generally small but positive, consistent with the limited extant research, and underscore the importance of investigating collateral effects across a range of variables.

The Lighter Touch: Less-Restriction in Sequentially Implemented Behavioral Sleep Interventions for Children with Rare Genetic Neurodevelopmental Conditions / Emma C. WOODFORD ; Laurie K.

Behavioral interventions are commonly used in the treatment of sleep difficulties in children with neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism, however, research is scarce in children with RGNC. The range of co-occurring complexities within this population, means there is a need for research to not only determine the effectiveness of behavioral sleep interventions, but also which components might be the least restrictive (i.e., intensive/aversive) and minimally sufficient.
