About the Practice
When additional support needs make sleep harder, Edinburgh families have a Scotland-specific sleep charity route to explore. Sleep Action Edinburgh Additional Support Needs Route gives Edinburgh families a route into sleep support when broken nights are affecting school, work, mood and family life. The focus is practical parent-facing support, with clear attention to SEND, neurodivergence and the limits of non-emergency sleep advice.
