ICHI Interventions for Childhood Sleep Difficulties

ICHI does not hold a single "sleep disorder" code; it describes interventions by Target, Action and Means. For young children's sleep difficulties the applicable clusters are assessment of sleep functions, caregiver education and counselling, behavioural sleep interventions, and environmental advice — conservative, non-pharmacological first-line actions. Medical sleep pathology is routed to paediatric review, and any diagnosis or AbilityScore is formed only at a Pinnacle centre.
