About the Practice
When additional needs are keeping the whole Reading household awake, parents need a service that starts with SEND rather than treating it as an afterthought. Parenting Special Children Reading Sleep Service gives Reading 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.
Clinical Expertise
Sleep routines, night waking, settling, autism-friendly strategies and parent-carer exhaustion
Autism-friendly support, additional needs, teenagers, parent carers and SEND sleep issues
Advice, support and training for parent carers
Why Work With Us?
Berkshire Additional Needs Sleep Service: Parents can see the professional route behind the sleep advice, including sleep training, clinical background or SEND experience where available.
Highly Specialist Sleep Practitioners: The support is framed around what families can actually try at home, including routines, sleep diaries, parent guidance, written plans or follow-up where offered.
Sleep and Safety Boundaries: This is a strong local route for Reading families because it is built around parent carers and additional needs.
