Hi @Samantha76

@Antonia_Scope has pointed you in the right direction to the Scope sleep services and online groups and they should be able to offer support.

I also wondered if this might help. Please see below a guide that I have shared with parents I have supported previously and received good feedback on. It's from the charity Cerebra and gives guide on sleep strategies and techniques.

I hope this helps and best wishes

Also @Samantha76 Scope has recently set up a new service called Navigate. Navigate provides a six week programme of online and telephone support to parents who have a child going through diagnosis or have a child who has recently been diagnosed with a disability (within 12 months). The aim is to provide parents of a child with a disability with emotional and practical support and help them navigate these early stages. It also gives parents a chance to talk through things and how they're feeling in a safe space.

If you think this may be something that could benefit you please visit https://www.scope.org.uk/family-services/navigate or call 0808 801 0510.
