Yes, behaviour therapy can effectively support children experiencing sleep difficulties, particularly those with autism, ADHD, or other developmental concerns. Therapists use evidence-based strategies such as visual bedtime schedules, reinforcement systems, fading techniques, and calming routines. These approaches are often included in a Positive Behaviour Support Plan funded through the NDIS. By identifying behavioural triggers like sensory sensitivity or anxiety at bedtime, therapists work closely with families to create consistent, low-stress sleep environments that encourage independence.
