Yes. Sleep difficulties are extremely common in children with autism and have real behavioral components that respond well to structured, evidence-based approaches. Poor sleep affects everything else: behavior during the day, learning, emotional regulation, and family stress. A BCBA can assess the specific factors driving your child's sleep difficulties, whether that involves bedtime resistance, difficulty falling asleep, frequent waking, or early rising, and develop a plan that addresses those systematically. For many families, improvement in sleep is one of the most immediately life-changing outcomes therapy produces, because it affects everyone in the household, not just the child.
