About the Practice
When sleep has reached the point of medication questions, Stoke parents need clinical guidance, not another bedtime checklist. Staffordshire and Stoke CAMHS Learning Disability Sleep Medication Route gives Stoke-on-Trent 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 routine difficulty, medication questions, CAMHS/LD CAMHS support and clinical review needs
Autism, ADHD, learning disability, CAMHS involvement and severe sleep-routine difficulty
Clinical pathway by referral or existing service involvement
Why Work With Us?

Melatonin Guidance and Clinical Review: 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 route helps families keep medication questions inside the right clinical pathway.
