If you feel like a consultation with a sleep expert could be helpful for your child, here is a starting point to look for a pediatric sleep center near you. If one is not available close to your home, reach out to your child’s pediatrician to see if they may know of a center not listed on the website. Of course, be sure to inform your child’s oncology team about your concerns and steps you plan to take to help understand and treat their sleep-related difficulties.
