Insomnia can have a significant impact on children\u2019s daytime functioning. Poor sleep can lead to increased challenges with learning, attention, and can contribute to increased symptom presentation in children with neurodevelopmental disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evidence supports the effectiveness of behavioural treatments for insomnia.&nbsp;However, these interventions are not often available to families of children with NDDs.&nbsp; Developed by Dr. Penny Corkum (Dalhousie University; IWK Health Centre), Dr. Shelly Weiss (University of Toronto; SickKids), and their colleagues at institutions across Canada, the online sleep intervention program,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/ndd.betternightsbetterdays.ca\/site\/about-the-sleep-study\"><em>Better Nights,&nbsp;Better Days for Children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders&nbsp;(BNBD-NDD)<\/em><\/a>, offers a potential solution to address this barrier to care. BNBD-NDD is an evidence-based, transdiagnostic online program for parents with children ages 4-12 years old with Attention-Deficit\/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Cerebral Palsy (CP), and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) that experience insomnia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As families begin the new school year, a good night\u2019s sleep is especially important. The&nbsp;<em>BNBD-NDD<\/em>&nbsp;program can help parents help their children to sleep better so that they can achieve the best academic outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Corkum, Dr. Weiss, and the&nbsp;<em>BNBD-NDD<\/em>&nbsp;research team are currently looking for 150 families of children with ADHD, ASD, CP and\/or FASD from across Canada to participate in this entirely online and paid research study to evaluate the effectiveness of&nbsp;<em>BNBD-NDD<\/em>.&nbsp; Interested participants can get started at the following link:&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/ndd.betternightsbetterdays.ca\/\">http:\/\/ndd.betternightsbetterdays.ca\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Up to 90% of Canadian children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) experience insomnia symptoms including trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, and\/or waking too early.
