| Research Abstract |
The prevalence of insomnia in children with developmental disorders was not significantly different from that in typically developing children. However, anxiety before sleep in children with developmental disorders had more effect on bedtime activity and mood. Behavioral approach such as extinction, bedtime routines, and faded bedtime with response cost were effective for children who had difficulty in falling asleep，especially children with developmental disorders. It is difficult to standardize the way of approach to insomnia in childhood and the combination of behavioral and cognitive behavioral approach and parental education was necessary.
