New guides coming out on sleep disorders

Pediatric Sleep Disorders: Therapist Guide (Treatments That Work) (Paperback)http://www.amazon.com/Pediatric-Sleep-Disorders-Therapist-Treatments/dp/0195329473/

Pediatric Sleep Disorders: Parent Workbook (Treatments That Work) (Paperback)http://www.amazon.com/Pediatric-Sleep-Disorders-Workbook-Treatments/dp/0195329481/

Sleep Better!: A Guide to Improving Sleep for Children With Special Needs (Paperback)http://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Better-Improving-Children-Special/dp/1557663157/

"The two new books differ from my Sleep Better book in a few ways. The Sleep Better book was written exclusively for parents who wanted more information about sleep and its problems among children with special needs. It is essentially a self-help book. The two new books allow clinicians or therapists to assist parents with a step-by-step process for fully assessing and treating sleep problems – with a Therapist Guide for the clinician and a Workbook for the parent. Because most clinicians do not have extensive experience treating sleep problems, I wrote the guide to help them. It is also more up-to-date, reflecting changes over the years since the first book was published. Bottom line, most families can do simple interventions by themselves using the Sleep Better book. For more challenging difficulties I would recommend working with a therapist and using the protocol outlined in the two new books."
