1. Sequence the steps to the strategy described for addressing sleep problems in children with ASD. Start with the 'baseline' phase. Include what happens when the child is successful as well as what the parent does when the child is not successful.
a. The bedtime passes strategy starts with a baseline phase, which is how many trips is the child taking out of bed. The purpose of this strategy is to make sure that a child, who has sleeping problems, will remain sleeping throughout the night. The 1st step of this strategy is to make sure that you’re observing your child from about 3 days to a week. In that time period, you will be looking at how many times they got out of bed before they decided to give up and go back to sleep. The 2nd step of this strategy involves using bedtime passes. If the child gets up, for whatever reason, they may be allowed to do so only if they have bedtime pass. The parent decides how many passes they can have and once they run out of the passes, there will be no more instances in which they can be up at night. The parent will have to ignore the child’s request to be up and they will go back to bed. If they used their passes wisely and still have some left, then they will be rewarded.
