ABSTRACT
This case analysis involved 41 clinical cases wherein children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) received a behavioral intervention for sleep problems. This study intended to (a) evaluate the efficacy of function-based behavioral sleep treatments; (b) elucidate variables impacting response to such interventions; (c) inform practitioners addressing sleep problems without a robust evidence-base; and (d) suggest priorities for future sleep research. Interventions included antecedent- and consequence-based modifications, and the teaching of replacement behaviors. Data were analysed using modified Brinley Plots and effect size estimates. Outcomes suggest that multi-component, parent-delivered, function-based interventions may ameliorate sleep problems in children and adolescents with ASD. The need for future research utilizing rigorous experimental designs is supported.
