Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Sleep Parent TrainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The five SPT sessions (each 60-90 minutes in duration) are individually delivered over 10-weeks. In addition to the five sessions, there are three home visits conducted via Express Care Online (HIPAA compliant video-chat). After Session A, session order may be adjusted to address child-specific problems. One-on-one delivery of SPT permits flexibility for child-specific problems within the program.
Group II: Sleep Parent EducationActive Control1 Intervention
SPE consists of five 60-90 minute sessions, delivered individually over 10 weeks. SPE provides useful information to families of young children with ASD and sleep problems. Session A is designed to develop rapport. The sleep hygiene session (Session B) has been modeled from the RUBI manual. The other sessions include a systematic presentation on several relevant topics. An example of a SPE session is provided in the Intervention section. This condition is intended to parallel what would be offered in typical care, but by telehealth, where a parent might be educated about ASD as well as attend an outpatient appointment at a sleep clinic.
