Enhance your pediatric practice
PPTI offers the only certification in Pediatric Sleep Intervention designed specifically to support children with special needs.
Welcome to Palm Pediatric Training Institute where our mission is to empower developmental therapists and nurses through continuing education in the field of pediatric sleep. We hope to continue to increase the number of Certified Sleep Providers serving families of children with special needs across the country.
The Challenge
Families of children with special needs typically struggle with supporting their child’s unique sleep concerns.
The predominant sleep services for families are either traditional, behavioral approaches, designed for neurotypical children, or medical sleep services for children with diagnosed medical sleep disorders.
Parents deserve inclusive sleep protocols specific to their child’s developmental, nutritional, and behavioral health needs.
Developmental Insight
Supporting the needs of non-neurotypical children requires a deeper understanding of how development, health, and nutrition intersect.
Training Deficit
Many providers request inclusive sleep support for their families but struggle to access the training and tools to address their complex needs.
Care Barriers
Families of children with special needs remain drastically underserved because there are not enough trained providers to meet the current demand.
A “whole-child” perspective provides a more integrated picture of each child and family’s unique needs. Our trainings help you to:
01
Gain Comprehensive Training for Complex Needs
Master techniques grounded in two decades of expertise, designed for providers that work with both neurotypical children and children with special needs.
02
Empower Your Practice with Whole-Child Insights
Equip yourself with strategies that address integrated development, sleep, gut-health, and nutrition to bring a more nuanced perspective to your practice.
03
Close the Care Gap for Neurodivergent Children
Get certified to provide sleep intervention for an underserved population that deserves comprehensive care.
