Sleep social narrative story, night time visuals, reward chart & tip sheet!

Are you working with a child who is struggling with sleep? This resource pack is perfect for teachers or therapists who are supporting parents in helping their children to improve their sleep routines and sleep quality.

This sleep resource pack includes a social narrative story, 27 nighttime visuals, a tip sheet to follow, and reward chart to celebrate successes. Use these resources to support students who are having challenges with sleep, nighttime routine (and transitions), and staying in their bedroom during the night.

What's included?

Sleep social narrative (10 pages) in pdf and powerpoint.

Use to support children in their nighttime routine, going to bed, staying in bed and transitions. See the preview for a closer look! The social narrative covers:

• Room is a safe place to sleep

• Listening to a story
• Kiss good night and lights are turned off
• What to do when you wake up during the night (close my eyes and go back to sleep)
