Autism Guernsey Sleep Training Programme – June and July 2024

We are pleased to announce our sleep training programme for parents or carers of un/diagnosed autistic children. The aim of the programme is to share with you evidence-based information and strategies to help you support your child’s sleep.

The programme will be delivered by two experienced facilitators, Julia Watts (Learning Disability Nurse) and Maryke Hauptfleisch (Occupational Therapist).

The programme consists of four sessions over a five-week period. Parents gain most from attending all the sessions. You will be required to complete a one-week sleep diary for your child before the course commence. The third week you will again complete a one-week sleep diary and there will be no session to attend.

You have two options:

Option 1: Thursdays 6.00pm - 7.30pm

Dates: June 6th and 13th , 27th and 4th July. Week of the 20th June will be for families to diarise their child’s sleep routine for the week. 

Or:

Option 2: Tuesdays 9.30am - 12:00noon

Dates: July 2nd, 9th, 23rd and 30th. Week of the 16th July will be for families to diarise their child’s sleep routine for the week. 

Coffee and tea will be available. All sessions are held at the Autism Guernsey offices.

Cost: no charge, however, Autism Guernsey is a charity, and we would appreciate any donations towards the running of the training sessions.

The programme can only be delivered to a limited number of families at any one time, so please confirm whether you would like to reserve a place(s) by the 15th May, and we will email you a registration form. Please also confirm whether you would prefer option 1 or 2.

If places become full, we will keep your name on a waiting list for a future training programme.
