Summary
This study tests whether a short program of aerobic exercise, combined with parent-led sleep training, can improve sleep and behavior in children with autism who have sleep problems. About 120 children aged 3-11 will take part. The exercise sessions are twice a week for 30 minutes over two weeks. Researchers will measure sleep quality, attention, and social skills before and after the program.
