In this basic training, participants will develop a working knowledge of the causes, symptoms, and risk factors of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) like autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), and intellectual disabilities (ID), and learn how their presence increases the risk for sleep disturbances. Participants will review empirically-based research findings to learn of the consequences this creates for the individual and their support system.
