Improving Sleep for Profoundly Autistic Learners (Emily Varon) – 1 BCBA CE
Sleep problems affect nearly half to over 80% of the autism population. A recent study analyzing 20,000+ nights of sleep in individuals with Profound Autism found that night-to-night variation in sleep timing and duration significantly predicted daytime behavior for most participants—highlighting the importance of consistent sleep. Yet effective strategies for improving sleep in profoundly autistic learners, especially those with severe challenging behaviors, remain limited in the research. This session challenges the myth that poor sleep is inevitable and shares practical strategies and considerations to support better rest and daytime functioning.

The Importance of Teaching Sex Ed to all Populations (Peter Gerhardt and Jessica Cauchi) – 1 BCBA CE
Historically the importance of providing sexuality education to individuals with disabilities has been underemphasized; those with more profound disabilities have often had this area of education neglected completely. This talk will outline the importance of teaching sex education to those with profound autism. We will discuss considerations for setting goals, including what to prioritize and how to discuss goal setting with caregivers and stakeholders. Finally, strategies for teaching goals and evaluating progress in sexuality education will be presented.
