The importance of sleep to children and adults, typical and non-typical alike is often overlooked. The topic is gaining increasing importance, and CHIP International is glad to have been able to present a webinar in Senegal on the factors necessary for a good night's sleep and how to help children, particularly those with special needs, get the same.

​

The two-session webinar was conducted by Pete Petersen, a retired supervisor of children's developmental disabilities for Northern Idaho and an executive member of the Governor’s Coordinating Council for Families and Children. Mr. Petersen is also currently a program manager for a wrap around service program in Washington.
