Parent-based sleep education for children with autism spectrum disorders . This study provided sleep education to parents of children with autism spectrum disorder ( ASD ) to determine whether an individual or group format was more effective in improving sleep and aspects of daytime behavior and family functioning . Eighty children , ages 2-10 years , with ASD and sleep onset delay completed the study . Actigraphy and parent questionnaires were collected at baseline and 1 month after treatment . Mode of education did not affect outcomes . Sleep latency , insomnia subscales on the Children 's Sleep Habits Questionnaire , and other outcomes related to child and family functioning improved with treatment . Parent-based sleep education , delivered in relatively few sessions , was associated with improved sleep onset delay in children with ASD . Group versus individualized education did not affect outcome .
