Frequently asked questions
- How can I help my autistic child sleep better?
- Most sleep trouble is tied to sensory needs, anxiety, and routine. A consistent, calming wind-down with the right sensory supports helps a lot. Beacon builds that routine around your child's specific profile.
- What sensory tools help an autistic child at bedtime?
- White noise, a weighted blanket if your child tolerates it, soft lighting, and a comfort toy are common helpers. Beacon suggests the ones that fit whether your child seeks or avoids input.
- Why does my autistic child fight bedtime?
- Often it is sensory overload, a disrupted routine, or too much stimulation right before bed. Predictable routines reduce the anxiety behind the resistance. Beacon designs the steps to make bedtime feel safe and consistent.
- Should screens or a bath be part of the routine?
- Screens are best off at least an hour before bed. A bath calms some kids but overstimulates others, so it may belong earlier in the day. Beacon adjusts the routine based on how your child responds.
- Is the sleep routine tool free and do I need an account?
- You can build one routine free with no account. A free account gives you one per tool, Standard gives 3 a month, and Plus or Annual is unlimited.
