Using the CeHReS roadmap to develop a sleep intervention for autistic students

Although schools are willing to support their students in reducing sleep problems, the implementation of sleep interventions in schools seem to have been unsuccessful. We co-created a school-based sleep intervention.

In this paper, we describe which lessons were learned from the school-partnered development of a school-based sleep intervention for autistic students. We will focus on the first three phases of the Centre for eHealth & Wellbeing Research (CeHReS) roadmap: contextual inquiry, value specification, and design. Each phase had specific goals and activities that led to iterative development with the active involvement of relevant stakeholders (future users and professionals).
