Why didnt I hear about this sooner? by K. Rhattigan  5 Stars
November 27, 2009
With a special needs child there really are no handbooks etc given to us parents as each child is different, however this book should be mandatory reading for all parents regardless of needs. It is brilliant-logical when you read it but when a psychologist has had personal experience of sleep problems with his own child you do tend to listen more to what is being said!
Definitely well worth investing in a copy and it is a good read as well.

Such a life and marriage saver! by P. Golden (nw ohio) 5 Stars
January 09, 2007
we had been struggling for a couple of years with our daughter's sleep issues and read and implemented some other books and suggestions early on. this book seems to have finally lead us to the solutions. it caught our interest because of the 'special needs' in the title. we were able to pick two of the recommendations and alternate them, depending on the situation. unfortunately, her issues are re-occuring, but we now know we can work through them and that is a tremendous weight off of our shoulders! we have shared the information about this book with our autism doc, too, hoping he passes the title along to other struggling parents!

Will be indispensible to exhausted parents 5 Stars
September 27, 1998
As far as I know, Durand's book is completely unique - there are no other books specifically on coping with sleep problems in children with special needs, even though they are unusually prone to developing sleep problems (which are also not always susceptible to the methods designed for "normal" children). Durand's advice is built on a solid foundation of research, but written clearly and without jargon. He's also not out to "sell" a particular method or program as the cure-all: he describes a number of different methods, giving the pros and cons of each, so that parents can make an informed decision about what is likely to work with their child.Incidentally, the information in the book might also help an adult (disabled or non-disabled) sort out any sleep problems of theirs as a free bonus.
