Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a set of neurodevelopmental disorders characterised by behavioural, communication and social impairments. The prevalence of sleep disturbances in children with ASD is 40–80%, with significant effects on quality of life for the children and carers.
This systematic review is aimed to synthesise evidence of the effects of behavioural interventions to improve sleep among children with ASD.
