Dr. Ellen M. Pope
OTD/OTR Occupational Therapist
Certified Child Sleep Consultant

I have over 3 decades of experience with infants, toddlers and preschoolers including those with special needs. My practice has focused on using a family centered, coaching approach to support families with children with feeding issues, fine and gross motor issues, sensory processing issues, self help skills and social emotional concerns. I became even more interested in learning about sleep when I recognized the huge impact sleep problems can have not only on the child’s well being and development but on the whole family’s well-being.

I have my clinical doctorate degree in Occupational Therapy, and in addition to my practice in Pediatrics, I was a clinical assistant professor of Occupational Therapy at the University of Kansas Medical Center. I am certified by the Family Sleep Institute as a Child Sleep Consultant. 

I can share the pros and cons of each research based sleep method and approach and develop a plan with you that matches your parenting style and the temperament and needs of your child.
