Sleep Help for Kids with Special Needs

Hi! I’m Linda – a mum to Cormac and Laoise, and a certified sleep consultant currently located in Abu Dhabi, and originally from Ireland.

I have a background in teaching and experience working with both neurotypical children and children with special needs.

I decided to train to become a sleep consultant not long after I sought the help of a sleep expert for my own daughter. I loved learning about pediatric sleep and experienced firsthand the difference teaching
your child to sleep well can make for everyone in the family. I realised that learning and teaching others about sleep was a passion I never knew I had.

Since becoming certified I have had the pleasure of working with parents of children with special needs, which has been a truly remarkable and fulfilling experience for me. I have thoroughly enjoyed combining my knowledge on pediatric sleep, all I know as a teacher, as well as my own experiences as a parent to offer the best possible support to parents and their children.

I am very excited to be part of Melissa’s team and I am especially looking forward to working with and supporting the families that seek our help.

Linda is located in Ireland and available to work with families in the UK, Ireland, and the Middle East.

Our son is now able to sleep through the night most nights. If he wakes up he can go back to sleep by himself too. This means that he is feeling well rested in the mornings and also very proud of himself! We are also able to sleep well and thus we all are in a better mood and more patient with each other. Our mornings are not a painful and grumpy experience anymore!

Our main focus was on getting us out of the room - one parent used to have to sit in our son's room until he fell asleep. Now, he goes down without us being there! He's also started sleeping through the night and when he does wake up, it's a very easy thing to get him back down. He wants to go into his bed whereas before he'd want to sleep on us. Linda realized that we weren't going to be able to do the slower method and changed her suggestions to a quicker, get us out of the room, and within 2-3 nights he was sleeping totally fine.

Linda was instrumental in helping us get my daughter back on track with some small changes. Everyone is happier now that we are getting more sleep. And now, Blake is sleeping up to 10 hours compared to 5-6 hours before working with Linda!

We were at our wits' end by the time we'd found Linda. Our 3 year old son who has ASD had never been a great sleeper but we were operating on 3 hours a night for the last year, and really needed help. And we got it. Under Linda's direction we were able to improve our son's sleep hygiene, his routine and get him to sleep from 7pm to 5am every night. This from 3 hours sleep! It's still an ongoing process, but we now feel confident that we have the tools and confidence to help our child sleep better. So when we sometimes have a blip, which happens, we keep going!
