Meeting the Needs of Children

Print this Page

The Children's Sleep Disorders Center has provided expert evaluations since 1984. Our state-of-the-art testing facility is designed especially for children. The latest computerized equipment permits a wider variety of measurements than is typically available in adult sleep labs.

Equally important, the Center provides a comfortable, non-threatening atmosphere to enhance natural sleep and the effectiveness of the studies. Parents may stay overnight nearby, and technicians monitor each child continuously, providing one-on-one bedside care whenever needed for physical or emotional support.

Our team of caregivers includes pediatric physician specialists in many areas. A pediatric pulmonologist, behavioral pediatrician, neurologist, psychiatrist, pediatric otolaryngologist, pediatric plastic surgeon, pediatric urologist, and a specialist in dysmorphology and developmental pediatrics are available to consult with any patient as needed.

Unlike adults, children with sleep disorders sometimes need immediate or emergency care. Because the Center is located in Riley Hospital for Children, we can offer the extra reassurance of having pediatric physician specialists immediately available around the clock.
