The No-Sleep Club – An Interactive Workshop about Sleep

Workshop description

Parents and caregivers are invited to join Kristin Gunby (Behaviour Analyst, M.S., BCBA) and Bethany Brewin (Occupational Therapist, M.Sc.O.T) as we discuss strategies related to sleep. We will present a brief overview of sleep health and common sleep issues, before working together to develop a “family sleep plan” for implementing some helpful strategies into your sleep-time routine.
