Emily Varon is a BCBA, a sleep educator, and the founder of Ready Set Sleep. Ready Set Sleep is also home to the Sleep Collective, the first sleep certification program for BCBAs. Emily returns to the podcast to share more of her passion for sleep and teach us how to create a sensitive sleep program for our learners.
Creating a Sensitive Sleep Program
No matter how experienced you are as a BCBA, sleep can be an intimidating task to tackle. Emily provides a program to receive proper training and guidance. Here, Emily shares some of the current research she’s involved in and details on a new tool she’s developing for BCBAs. She also shares how to take a sensitive approach with parents, tips for breaking down barriers to progress, and advice for new BCBAs just starting to explore sleep.
In this episode Emily talks a lot about building sleep independence skills during our sessions with learners. One part of this can be introducing learners to calming activities that can replace iPad time and other energy producing activities. We have a whole list of calming activities available for you to download at the link below.
