There is a long-standing assumption that physical activity is an effective, non-pharmacological approach to improving sleep quality and quantity. However, objective and reliable data on this relationship are scarce for children with developmental disabilities. Parent burnout in this population is high and there are many barriers to engagement with such interventions. This study aims to understand the feasibility of providing an exercise intervention for this population, and gathering parental views on the impact of such an intervention. Depending on the outcome of this feasibilty study, larger scale interventions may be planned to further examine the impact of such an intervention.
