Sleep Mentorship

Are you a Certified Behavioral Sleep Specialist looking for more hands-on experience?

A BCBA interested in learning more about the assessment and treatment of sleep challenges?

Did you attend the 2-day Pediatric Sleep Intervention Certificate Training and want additional support and guidance?

Are you a Sleep Specialist looking for more hands-on experience?

Then this mentorship is for you!

This mentorship is designed for professionals who have a basic understanding of the following:

Sleep architecture.
The signs and symptoms of a primary sleep disorder.
A basic understanding of circadian rhythms and homeostatic drive.
Critical variables to assess during a sleep assessment.
Evidence-based treatments for behavioral insomnia. *Please note that although cry-it-out/pure extinction is an evidence -based intervention, this is never suggested to families receiving services from Tina Hanson.
Mentees will be able to access on demand sleep trainings by ABT at no additional cost.

If you have a good understanding of the above but would like more hands-on experience putting what you've learned into practice, then consider signing up for a sleep mentorship. Join Tina Hanson in assessing sleep challenges during virtual appointments with real families looking for help with their children (6 months to 3 years).

*If you don't have an understanding of the above and would like to receive training on sleep assessment and treatment, I'm offering a sleep training and mentorship experience for $400 per person.

*BCBAs are eligible to earn 5 CEs for the mentorship experience ($125) and 8 CEs for the sleep training and mentorship experience ($400).

Benefits of a Sleep Mentorship

~Master the art of talking to caregivers from different backgrounds to develop sleep goals with the family based on their culture and family values.

~Learn the right questions to ask to help determine the factors contributing to the sleep challenge; including what questions to ask to determine if a referral for a medical assessment is needed.

~Gain expertise working with a diverse population. Because the children referred for sleep consultation have diverse needs and complex developmental profiles, you will gain expertise in working with a variety of populations.

~Learn how to inspire hesitant or reluctant caregivers to make positive changes to their child's sleep routine so the whole family can sleep!

*This mentorship is worth 5 CEs for BCBAs (1 Ethics-type and 4 learning-type).
