Many young children experience sleep problems that may influence their daytime functioning. These sleep problems are especially prevalent in young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Therefore, general recommendations for identifying and treating sleep problems in children with ASD are needed for behavior analysts to identify potential sleep problems and make empirically informed decisions regarding treatment options. The current paper seeks to provide behavior analysts, who work with children with ASD, with informative research on pediatric sleep problems, sleep measures, and options for behavioral sleep treatment.
许多幼儿都存在睡眠问题，这些问题可能会影响他们白天的机能。这些睡眠问题在患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的幼儿中尤为普遍。因此，行为分析师需要有关于识别和治疗ASD儿童睡眠问题的一般建议，以便识别潜在的睡眠问题，并就治疗方案做出基于实证的决策。本文旨在为与ASD儿童一起工作的行为分析师提供有关儿童睡眠问题、睡眠测量以及行为睡眠治疗选项的信息性研究。
