About this Item

Paperback. A compassionate, science-backed guide to improving sleep in children and teens with neurodiversities -- written by a renowned pediatric sleep expert who is also the parent of a neurodivergent child. When Dr. Melisa Moore realized her son had autism and ADHD, she already had a decade of experience helping families navigate sleep issues, but nothing had prepared her for the reality of managing sleep in her own household. The advice she had learned felt too rigid, unrealistic, or simply ineffective for kids like hers. What she needed was a different kind of guide -- so she set out to create one. With humor, validation, and true empathy, Moore offers a multifaceted framework that blends evidence-based science with real-life parenting wisdom. She breaks down the myths of sleep training, redefines "healthy sleep" for neurodiverse families, and provides a toolkit for finding what works -- for your child, in your life, right now, even if it doesn't look the way anyone told you it should. As Moore shows, consistently better sleep is possible, and The Good Sleep Guide for Neurodivergent Kids will get your family there. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
