Sleep Assessments (Telehealth)
Telehealth Sleep Assessments through a neurodiversity-affirming lens.
Karenza works with autistic teens and adults.
For teens, parent or caregiver involvement is required to support implementation of strategies and ongoing progress.
Specialised holistic assessment and support
Sleep assessments with Karenza are holistic, highly individualised, and recognise sleep as a complex interaction between body, mind, and environment.
Good sleep depends on many factors - including our health, daily routines, thermal comfort, the bedroom environment, sensory supports, mental health, sleep position and movement. We can review these areas to understand what’s helping sleep and where there may be barriers or unmet needs.
Telehealth appointments are available nationally.
Around 80% of autistic people experience sleep difficulties at some point in life, which makes accessible, neuro-affirming sleep support incredibly important for the autistic community.
What’s included:
Initial consultation (2-hours): Review of factors impacting sleep, current goals, and priorities.
Individualised sleep report: A customised summary of key concerns, strengths, recommendations, and next steps aligned with your sleep goals.
Follow-up consultation (1-hour): Review of progress, refinement of strategies, and planning next steps.
The Assessment Process
Why might I need a Sleep Assessment?
To understand how your neurotype impacts sleep
To identify current factors affecting sleep (e.g. anxiety, health, pain, demand avoidance, burnout, parenting demands, routines, activities etc)
To explore sensory needs related to sleep (e.g. sound/light sensitivity, bedding, movement etc)
To review thermal comfort and temperature regulation
To identify environmental adjustments that may support sleep
Identify practical ways to increase sleep drive so you can fall asleep and stay asleep more easily
Identify ways to reduce alertness and anxiety at bedtime and overnight
To support better mental health, physical health, energy and daily functioning
