**This course will provide the participant with 2 General Learning Type BACB® CEUs**
Description of Learning Type CE Event: From Nicole Shallow, M.Ed., BCBA – Founder of Your Behaviour Gal Consulting Inc. This is not your typical Sleep CEU event. I am taking you into a deeper dive of how to conduct assessments in a way that will leave your client feeling seen, heard, and supported. Assessments are not just about asking questions; it is an opportunity to build trust with the client. For any sleep support to be effective, the caregivers need to trust that you know what you are doing and that your support is aligned with their values. Through asking the right questions in a structured flow, this allows clients to share the good, the bad, and the ugly with you. During our time together, we will review two commonly used sleep assessment tools, and I will share how I have combined these tools and added additional questions/information to improve the comprehensive sleep assessment procedures. This process is tried and true across my clients, and I am excited to share it with you!
