Two-Day Pediatric Sleep Intervention Certificate Training
-
This is a two-day, comprehensive course that teaches on a broad range of areas that impact sleep quality. The curriculum for this in-person, live training comes from evidence-based research and practices and is intended for anyone interested in learning about the specifics for assessment and treatment of pediatric sleep conditions. This training explores the intersections of health, nutrition, development, sensory processing, and attachment on a child’s overall sleep success. Attendees will also practice using the Sleep Triangle assessment tool for evaluating the child’s sleep needs and formulating a thorough sleep plan.
-
Attendees will be able to administer the Pediatric Health and Sleep Screener and use it to evaluate and formulate developmentally specific sleep plans.
Attendees will be able to identify the three factors of analysis for the Sleep Triangle: Systemic Factors, Sensory Factors, and Behavioral Factors and identify each child’s unique sleep needs.
Attendees will be able to create a sleep schedule based on each child’s age and neuro-developmental stage that supports the recommended amount of sleep set-out by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
Attendees will be able to define comorbid sleep issues for each of the five common developmental diagnosis categories: neurocognitive disorders, pre-term birth, trauma, genetic disorders, and sensorimotor disorders.
Attendees will be able to evaluate gut-health related sleep issues and analyze the child’s current nutritional needs a cross four areas: protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals to add nutritional recommendations to the child’s sleep plan.
Attendees will be able to evaluate the parent-child dynamic to determine the level of attachment supportive intervention to be included with the sleep plan.
Attendees will be able to discuss and collaborate with caregivers to develop a culturally-supportive plan that identifies the parent as part of the treatment team and expert in their family’s needs.

Trauma-Informed Sleep Intervention Training
-
The Trauma-Informed Sleep Intervention training explores how trauma is processed within the body and specifically during sleep. Attendees will learn how to assess the level of impact to the child’s daily functioning, specific interventions to reduce re-experiencing trauma during sleep, and how stress affects all systems in the body. Case studies discussed during the training include children who have experienced the following types of trauma: sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect, and medical trauma. Content within this training may be triggering to some individuals, descriptions of abuse within the case studies can be graphic.
-
Attendees will learn how trauma affects the four different systems within the body (nutrition, digestion, nervous system regulation, and sensory processing) to provide comprehensive assessment of each child’s trauma impact.
Attendees will discuss how the brain reprocesses trauma during sleep to identify potential triggers leading up to sleep events and how to help reduce nervous system dysregulation throughout the day.
Attendees will analyze three different approaches to trauma reduction (Systematic Desensitization, Exposure, and Trigger Removal) to determine which approach is best suited for each child’s unique needs.
Attendees will interpret four case studies examining the four different types of trauma explored in this training (sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect, and medical trauma) to practice assessing the trauma impact and building out a sample sleep plan for each case.
