Research-Informed Sleep Support for Autistic and/or ADHD Children You Can Trust
NeuroNest sleep plans are grounded in current paediatric sleep research, including the Sleeping Sound program developed through Monash University and Murdoch Children’s Research Institute. This research shows that sleep improves when strategies are tailored to the individual child and supported through caregiver guidance, rather than relying on one-size-fits-all approaches.
Our approach considers your child’s circadian rhythm, sleep pressure, nervous system regulation, sensory profile, and daily routines to understand what is maintaining sleep challenges and how to support change in a way that is realistic and sustainable.
Alongside this, we integrate Circle of Security principles, recognising that children sleep best when they feel emotionally safe, supported, and understood. This means supporting connection, predictability, and co-regulation as part of the sleep process.
This combined approach reflects both the science of sleep and the importance of relationships, helping families build sleep patterns that are not only effective, but also emotionally safe and achievable in everyday life.
