You don't have to be a sleep specialist to help families sleep better.

Evidence-based sleep education for professionals who support children and families. Practical tools you can use right away.

Many of the families you work with are struggling with sleep. You want to help. But when it comes to sleep, it can be hard to know who to trust or where to start.

That's exactly where Little Dipper Sleep comes in.

The information out there is often conflicting, incomplete, or designed for the average child. That doesn't help much when you're working with a highly sensitive kid, a neurodivergent family, or a parent who has already tried everything and is running on empty.

We give you a clear, evidence-based framework you can trust and use with the real families you serve.

How We Can Support You

Whether you're looking for live or recorded training for your whole team, self-paced continuing education, or a course built for your specific profession — we have something that fits. If you're a doula, an occupational therapist, an early intervention specialist, or any professional who supports children and families, you're in the right place. All of our offerings are evidence-based, flexible, and built around the real families you serve, whatever your role.

For Teams and Organizations

Bring evidence-based sleep education to your staff, agency, or organization with a training built around your team's needs and the families you serve.

Live or recorded formats available — from a single lunch and learn to a multi-week series your team can fit into their regular schedule. Group discounts available.

We'll build your training around what your team needs most. Common topics include:

• Sleep foundations for pediatric providers

• Neurodivergent sleep challenges

• Sleep and feeding challenges

• Perinatal sleep and PMADs

Ideal for early intervention teams, therapy practices, doula agencies, school districts, pediatric clinics, and nonprofit organizations.

For Doulas and Perinatal Professionals

“I now have more tools in my doula toolkit to support postpartum families. Educational, applicable, and fun. I highly recommend this training for any specialty that supports the childbearing family." — Sybil Pye, Certified Postpartum Doula

"Satisfied our geeky hunger for evidence — and the practical suggestions for helping our clients get better sleep was invaluable." — Melanie Patrick, Owner of Emerald Doulas LLC

For OTs, SLPs, PTs and Pediatric Therapists

Sleep affects nearly every outcome you're working toward — regulation, feeding, communication, motor development, and more. But most graduate programs never covered sleep comprehensively, and the information available online is often conflicting or not designed for the complex, neurodivergent families you support.

Pediatric Sleep: A Clinical Foundation for Family Centered Providers changes that. Built in collaboration with The Therapeutic Edge Collective, it gives you an evidence-based sleep framework you can integrate immediately into your existing practice — without becoming a sleep specialist or stepping outside your scope.

• 3 hours of content available on demand

• ASHA CEUs approved — additional professions in progress

• Launching end of May 2026

Common Questions

Can I talk to families about sleep without stepping outside my scope of practice?

Yes. Our training is specifically designed to help you integrate sleep education into your existing role without stepping outside your scope. You'll learn how to address sleep as it relates to what you're already doing — regulation, feeding, motor development, family wellness — and how to know when to refer out. We teach you what to say, how to say it, and how to support families with confidence.

Do I have to become a sleep coach if I take one of your sleep training courses?

Not at all. Most providers take this training to enhance their current practice with no intention of adding sleep coaching services. The goal is confidence in sleep, not a career change.

Will I receive continuing education credits?

The doula CEU course is DONA-approved. The OT/SLP course launching end of May is approved for ASHA CEUs, with additional professions in progress. If you have questions about your specific credential, reach out at liz@littledipperwellness.com and we'll let you know where things stand. We are always looking for new fields to support and collaborate with.

What if I work with neurodivergent kids? Will the information I learn in your sleep trainings be relevant to them?

You're in the right place. Standard sleep advice often falls short for kids with ADHD, autism, and sensory processing differences, and we know it. Neurodivergent sleep is a core part of what we teach across all of our offerings, not an afterthought.

Can you train my whole team?

Absolutely. Group trainings are available for organizations of any size, from a single lunch and learn to a multi-week series. We'll build the curriculum around your team and the families you serve. Let's connect to talk through what would work best.

Meet Your Teacher

Liz Harden, MPH Founder, Little Dipper Sleep

I've been working in pediatric sleep for over a decade. With a Master's in Public Health in Health Behavior and Health Education from UNC-Chapel Hill, my approach is rooted in research, and that shapes everything I teach. I dig into what the evidence actually says and translate it into practical guidance that works for real families.

I specialize in complex and neurodivergent sleep, and I'm often the person other sleep coaches turn to when they're stuck. That same evidence-guided, problem-solving approach is what shapes every training, every framework, and every tool I teach.

Every human deserves stellar sleep, including the families you serve.
