Why Attend

Disturbed sleep in a child has a negative impact on the whole family’s health and well-being.1-3 Early identification and intervention may help to offset some of the potentially detrimental effects due to impaired sleep in the developing child with ASD. 4
In this interactive webinar Prof. Schroder will explore practical tools for identification and management of insomnia in the busy daily practice and review patient cases with an interactive consultation with the audience.
