Parents of CSHCNs reported poorer health than parents of TD children. This project aims to understand how parents of CSHCN differ from parents of TD children on sleep, memory, and general health, and the relation between these variables. Results indicate poorer sleep quality among parents of CSHCN and positive associations between sleep and memory and sleep and health among parents of CSHCNs. Implications of these results are discussed.Back to Session: Welcome Reception and Poster Session
