Introduction to sleep hygiene for children and teenagers who have Down’s syndrome.

Tuesday 3 November 2026 | 10.30 – 11.45am | FREE

Sleep difficulties have a huge impact on health and well-being as well as learning and development. The earlier sleep issues are addressed, the better.

In this webinar we will look at the importance of sleep and what we mean by a good nights sleep. We will look at the more common sleep problems and when to seek help. We will also explore how to create good sleep habits and what to avoid.
