You and your child would participate in weekly video sessions with a therapist for 3 weeks, where you'll learn how to use sleep restriction therapy techniques at home. Between sessions and for 4 weeks after, you'll practice what you've learned to help your child's sleep. The entire program takes about 7 weeks total, and everything happens through a secure online platform from your home.
