Sleep Matters

🌙 Sleep Support at Rainbow Tree Therapies

Restful sleep is not a luxury — it’s a necessity for healthy childhood development. At Rainbow Tree Therapies, we recognize sleep as one of the most important occupations in a child’s life — and one that is too often disrupted, especially in neurodivergent children.

💡 Why Sleep?

Sleep challenges are a public health crisis.

  • Nearly 75% of neurodivergent children struggle with sleep.
  • 3-33% of typically developing children struggle with sleep.
  • About 30% of adults report ongoing sleep difficulties.
  • Poor sleep can negatively impact attention, behavior, learning, emotional regulation, immune health, and overall quality of life.

That’s why Rainbow Tree Therapies is taking on the challenge to support children — and their families — in cultivating the conditions that promote deeper, more restorative sleep.

🌳 How We Help

Occupational therapists are uniquely positioned to support sleep through environmental assessment, daily routine planning, and understanding each child’s individual sensory and regulatory needs. We focus on interventions that have to do with the environment, the person and the daily occupational routines. 

At Rainbow Tree Therapies, we believe that sleep is a foundational occupation—essential for health, regulation, learning, and emotional well-being. Yet, sleep challenges are increasingly common.

We’re here to help. Backed by research and inspired by nature, our Sleep Matters Packages empower families with knowledge, tools, and individualized guidance to reclaim sleep—together.

🌙 Who We Help

** We are licensed in Wisconsin and Minnesota at this time so we can only accept clients from these states.

  • Parents of typically developing children who struggle with frequent night wakings or restless sleep.

  • Children whose sleep challenges are impacting behavior, attention, emotional regulation, or learning.

⚠️ Important Note on Scope of Practice

At Rainbow Tree Therapies, our occupational therapists are trained in sleep support as it relates to daily routines, sensory regulation, emotional wellness, and the environment in which your child sleeps.

We bring:

  • 🎓 Expert understanding of the process of sleep across development

  • 🛏️ Specialized training in environmental modifications to support rest

  • 🧠 Additional training in Cognitive Behavioral Strategies for sleep routines and regulation

  • 💚 A holistic, nature-based lens that honors the child’s whole system

However, we do not diagnose sleep disorders. If at any point your child’s symptoms suggest a need for medical evaluation or formal diagnosis (e.g., sleep apnea, seizure-related disturbances, or neurological causes), we will provide appropriate referrals to a pediatric sleep specialist, neurologist, or medical provider.

Sleep is within OT’s scope of practice when it involves health-promoting routines, habits, and participation in meaningful daily life activities—and that’s where we thrive.
