The Individual

Difficulty falling asleep and frequent nocturnal awakenings are common sleep problems in young children. These are highly influenced by parent choices about sleep schedules, bedtime routines, and psychosocial factors but are usually very treatable with effective behavioral interventions. Parents may respond with actions that actually end up perpetuating sleep problems based on their beliefs about the nature of the sleep disturbances. Parents may misattribute the sleep disturbance to other medical problems or misinterpret benign sleep disturbances such as confusional arousals. Even if these conditions are ruled out or identified, the learned negative sleep-onset associations can be challenging to alter. Fortunately, children’s sleep habits are amenable to change when caregivers apply empirically supported behavioral sleep medicine strategies. Sleep physicians and psychologists specializing in behavioral sleep medicine can work collaboratively to solve the mystery of complex toddler sleep problems, tailoring parent guidance and behavioral treatments to the individual child and family dynamics.

Abstract Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a relatively new diagnostic entity, for which few behavioral treatments have been investigated. Recent work has helped to clarify the nature of distinct PPA variants, including a nonfluent variant (NFV-PPA), a logopenic variant (LV-PPA), and a semantic variant (SV-PPA). This paper reviews treatment research to date in each subtype of PPA, including restitutive, augmentative, and functional approaches. The evidence suggests that restitutive behavioral treatment can result in improved or stabilized language performance within treated domains. Specifically, sentence production and lexical retrieval have been addressed in NFV-PPA, whereas lexical retrieval has been the primary object of treatment in LV and SV-PPA. Use of augmentative communication techniques, as well as implementation of functional communication approaches, also may result in improved communication skills in individuals with PPA. The ideal treatment approach may be one that combines restitutive, augmentative, and functional approaches to treatment, in order to maximize residual cognitive-linguistic skills in patients. Additional research is warranted to determine which modes of treatment are most beneficial in each type of PPA at various stages of severity.
