About the Course

Since we all spend about 6-8 hours doing it every day, most of us take the ability to fall and stay asleep for granted. But for many families, getting everyone to sleep is a constant source of stress. This week, Emily Varon of Ready, Set, Sleep stops by to share where research on sleep treatment has brought the field and what the practice of supporting sleep habits can add to working with autistic children struggling with going, getting, and staying asleep. If you thought sleep hygiene just means turning off your phone before bed, this episode is for you! This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

Emily Varon is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst with a dedicated focus on sleep-related behaviors. She has worked in the field of behavior analysis since 2000 and has devoted her practice to improving the sleep habits of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder since 2010. Emily takes the complicated issue of pervasive sleep problems and helps behavior analysts develop appropriate and ethical behavior plans for improving the quality of sleep for consumers and their caregivers. Her focus on sustainability of sleep habits versus “good” or “bad” habits offers families and clinicians a broader, long-view perspective of sleep, resulting in more sustainable results over time. By combining the science of behavior analysis with the science of sleep, Emily creates a consumable learning opportunity for BCBAs to enhance their practice by providing context for the way sleep and behavior both complement, and sabotage, one-another. Emily resides in Irvine, California with her husband and two teens. Improving the quality of life for persons with Autism, and their families, has been a passion of hers for over 20 years.
