Specialist behavioural sleep support for children with autism and other neurodivergent profiles.
Assessment-led.
Evidence-based.
Built around sleep biology, regulation, and sleep-related independence skills.
About Me
Hi, I'm Jodie Fielder
Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA)
&
Certified Behavioural Sleep Practitioner
For over 15 years, I have supported children and families across home, school, nursery, and community settings.
My work has focused extensively on children with autism and other neurodivergent profiles, supporting learning, communication, emotional regulation, and behaviour using structured, evidence-based approaches.
Across those years, one pattern became clear:
Sleep is foundational.
When a child is chronically tired, learning slows. Regulation becomes harder. Family life feels heavier.
That is what led me to specialise in behavioural sleep support.
Who this is for
This support may be right for you if:
• You’ve tried other sleep approaches and they didn’t work for your child
• You don’t want to use cry-it-out or compliance-heavy methods
• Your child seems exhausted at bedtime, but becomes more wired instead of sleepy
• Bedtime feels long, unpredictable, or emotionally intense
•Night wakings are frequent, and you’re unsure what is biological versus behavioural
• You’ve tried common sleep advice, but it hasn’t made sense for your child
• You find yourself wondering, “Is this behavioural, or is something else happening?”
• You want structured guidance that respects your child’s nervous system
• You are looking for clarity, not pressure
You may be feeling exhausted.
Unsure what to change next.
Worried you’ve reinforced something.
You haven’t.
Sometimes sleep isn’t about trying harder.
It’s about understanding what’s happening first.
The Assessment-Led Approach
Sleep support should start with understanding, not assumptions.
Most sleep advice starts with a method.
I start with assessment.
Before making changes, I look carefully at how your child’s sleep system is currently functioning biologically and behaviourally.
Because if we don’t understand what’s happening first, strategies won’t stick.
Sleep Biology & Timing
We look at:
• Age-appropriate sleep need
• Sleep pressure build across the day
• Circadian rhythm alignment
• Overtired vs undertired patterns
When sleep timing is misaligned, behaviour strategies alone won’t resolve bedtime struggles. Biology must come first.
Sleep Readiness & Independence
We assess whether your child is ready to fall asleep independently.
This includes:
• Arousal levels at bedtime
• Tolerance for separation
• Sleep-related independence skills
• Transition predictability into the sleep space
Sleep is a learned behaviour — but readiness must be in place before expectations are raised.
Environment & Current Patterns
We also evaluate:
• Sleep environment and sensory influences
• Current bedtime responses
• Night waking patterns
• How sleep is currently being supported
Small mismatches can maintain larger struggles.
What Happens Next
Only once assessment is complete do we introduce structured, gradual changes.
This isn’t about being stricter.
It’s about being aligned.
By building sleep readiness first and aligning timing with biology, we create changes that are realistic, respectful, and sustainable.
How this is different
Most sleep support starts with a method.
I start with assessment.
I don’t apply scripts.
I don’t assume tiredness looks the same in every child.
And I don’t treat bedtime resistance as defiance.
We assess first.
Then we intervene — gradually and structurally.
Support begins with a detailed assessment of your child’s sleep biology, sleep readiness, and current behavioural patterns.
From there, we create a structured plan tailored to your child’s needs and your family’s values.
You are not given a generic script.
You receive:
• Clear explanation of what is happening
• A personalised sleep plan
• Gradual, structured implementation
• Ongoing refinement and troubleshooting
Throughout the process, you are supported calmly and collaboratively.
This is not about pressure or perfection.
It’s about clarity and steady progress.
How support is structured
Structured Sleep Support Packages
