Webinar Description:
As an occupational therapist, you already play a vital role in helping children thrive. But what if some of the challenges you’re supporting—emotional regulation, behavior, attention, motor development—are being compounded by something simple and overlooked? Sleep.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- Why sleep is a foundational occupation that deserves your clinical attention.
- How to confidently identify red flags for sleep disruption in children.
- The key questions every occupational therapist should be asking during intake.
- How to integrate sleep support into your current assessments and care plans.
- For private practice occupational therapists: how sleep can become a valuable, revenue-generating service in your business.
You will leave with the knowledge, tools, and inspiration to begin assessing sleep right away and a clear next step to deepen your impact through the SHIP™ Sleep Health Certification.
By the end of this webinar you will:
- Identify sleep as a foundational occupation that influences pediatric development and function.
- Recognize key signs and symptoms of sleep disruption in youth ages 0–18.
- Ask targeted questions to assess sleep health during client intake.
- Explain how sleep health assessment fits within the occupational therapy scope of practice.
