Treatment of Sleep Disturbance in Children With ASD

This intervention consists of 50 sessions of morning jogging sessions at moderate intensity level. Each intervention session will be administered by a trained research assistant assisted by student helpers. All the research staff (i.e. student helpers and research assistant) will be required to attend a workshop (see educational plan) to standardize the procedure on implementing the intervention, as well as handling and motivating their ASD partners. Motivation techniques in previous protocol will be used to enhance the compliance rate.

This intervention is a 10-week melatonin supplement intervention where melatonin supplement will be provided 30 minutes before bedtime.
