Systematic review of the effectiveness of behaviorally-based interventions for sleep problems in people with rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorders.

Sleep problems are prevalent in people with rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorders (RGND) and, in some cases, RGNDs are associated with specific forms of sleep disturbance that appear relatively unique. Although a notable amount of research has focused on behavioral intervention for sleep problems in people with higher incidence developmental disorders, research focused on potentially modifiable learning and environmental factors for people with RGND has received less attention. This review summarizes empirical evidence from studies providing behavioral interventions for sleep problems in RGND.
