Abstract: In this presentation, we explore the critical intersection of sleep science and behavior analysis. As a Certified Behavioral Sleep Specialist, I will guide BCBAs through the fundamentals of sleep, its developmental importance, and the impact of sleep disturbances on behavior and learning. We’ll discuss how core behavioral principles can be effectively applied to address common pediatric sleep challenges. The session will also provide practical tools for assessment and intervention, along with strategies for collaboration across interdisciplinary teams. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of how to integrate sleep-focused supports into their behavior analytic practice.

Objectives:
