Sue McCabe on Pediatric Sleep: Comfort, Complexity, and Thermoregulation


Listen Later

This conversation with sleep specialist Sue McCabe will completely shift how you think about sleep.

We talk about why sleep isn't just a nighttime problem, it's a 24-hour concern woven through every aspect of your therapy outcomes. Sue introduces her C-word framework: Comfort (finding what's "just right, right now"), Complexity, Culture, Collaboration, Community, Capacity, Connections, Communication, and Clocks. We explore the types of questions that surface the real issues underlying sleep issues before throwing behavioral strategies at families. The difference between a circadian rhythm disorder and insomnia, why knowing that a child is spending 6 hours running around the park helps you solve a sleep issue and how warm feet are essential for sleep onset (yes, your mom was right).

We explore difficulties with sleep in a variety of diagnoses (CP, autism, ADHD, vision impairment, trauma history).

Sue introduces the frameworks, the questions, the resources, and the lens to address sleep into your clinical sessions with confidence.
