Sleep Services

Every individual is unique—in their personality, preferences, and needs. At Graham Behavior Services, we offer personalized support for people of all ages, from young children to adults, including those with special needs. Whether you’re seeking early intervention, in-home ABA therapy, parent training, or advocacy services, our dedicated team is here to provide compassionate, high-quality care tailored to your family’s goals.

A good night’s sleep is possible—for you, your child, and your entire family.

At Graham Behavior Services, we understand that sleep challenges can affect people of all ages, from infants to adults, including individuals with special needs. Whether it’s difficulty falling asleep, frequent night wakings, or struggles with bedtime routines, you’re not alone—and we’re here to help.

Contrary to common belief, sleep isn’t just something we naturally “figure out”—it’s a learned skill, much like brushing teeth or getting dressed. Our team offers a variety of sleep support options tailored to meet your unique needs. We work with children, teens, adults, and families to build healthier sleep habits, improve routines, and achieve consistent, restful nights. Wherever you are on your sleep journey, we’ll meet you there with compassionate, personalized care.

The full series is recommended for families who are experiencing challenges in multiple areas.

Consultative Model

Graham Behavior Services offers a full consultative model with a sleep expert who will meet with you in your home to complete a sleep assessment, and write a customized sleep plan for you and your family. This model would include visits to the home, along with video conferences to make sure progress is being made.

The consultative model includes an initial meeting and observation, a comprehensive treatment plan, training on implementing the plan, follow up meetings, and check-ins after mastery of sleeping skills.

The consultative model will start with an initial meeting with the family, along with an observation of the typical sleep routine and interactions with your child. At this initial meeting, your sleep specialist will complete a full assessment using the Sleep Assessment and Treatment Tool (SATT), created by Dr. Gregory Hanley. This assessment helps to determine which areas may be improved upon to get a successful night’s sleep for all. From this assessment, goals will be determined with the supervisor and family. These goals can change over time and if new goals arise, they can be additionally addressed.
A comprehensive step-by-step treatment plan for changing your child’s behavior to create a more positive sleeping experience will be created based on the assessment and the goals determined. This treatment plan will be shared with the family for review. The sleep specialist and family will discuss the plan and the specialist will provide training on the steps.
Following the initial training and development of the treatment plan, weekly meetings will take place with your sleep specialist to be sure the plan is met with success and to advance to the next steps as skills are mastered. These meetings will be held at a minimum of weekly but may take place more often as needed. These can be a combination of in-person meetings and phone or video calls. The family can also reach out to the sleep specialist for any issues that arise that are unplanned or any questions that come up.
After successful completion of the treatment plan and success in meeting sleeping goals, the family will have access to as many phone or video calls as needed to maintain progress. Bi-monthly check-ins will be scheduled for at least 2 months following mastery but can be scheduled for longer or more often if needed, to ensure there is no skill regression.
