School of Psychology, Family, and Community presents: Sleep in Children with Special Needs

All children are most likely to reach their full neurodevelopmental potential when starting each day after a night of sufficient and good quality sleep. However, ideal sleep is a complex state, the paradigm of which is being challenged by our modern world, and even more so by those with underlying developmental disabilities who struggle to succeed in the world. Thus, topics for this talk include: (1) basic physiology of sleep, (2) assessment of pediatric sleep and its disorders, (3) known sequelae of sleep disorders in typically developing children, and (4) sleep disorders in children with special needs.

Date: November 13, 2012
Location: Seattle Pacific University Library Seminar Room
Time: 7:00-8:30 p.m.

This event is free and open to the public. No reservation is required. For directions to Seattle Pacific University and a campus map, go to: https://spu.edu/info/maps.asp.
