 Sleep disorders, such as problems falling asleep and sleep apnea, affect your child's ability to get the sleep needed for good growth, development and overall health.
Sometimes, problems with sleeping contribute to learning, mood and behavior troubles during the daytime. Problems with sleep can also disrupt your entire family's life. We offer testing (sleep studies), treatment and consultation for sleep disorders that affect babies, children and young people up to age 21. Our program is accredited by the Australian Board of Sleep Medicine. |

Endocrinology is the study of hormones. Hormones travel in the blood and control many important body functions by delivering signals between the cells. Insulin, for example, is a hormone that moves food energy from the blood into muscle, fat and liver cells. If your child’s body does not make enough insulin or becomes resistant to its effects, your child may develop diabetes. Diabetes is a lifelong condition in which the body doesn’t properly control the amount of sugar in the blood. The Endocrinology and Diabetes program at Seattle Children’s provides long-term care for children and teens with diabetes and other endocrine system problems, such as puberty, growth and thyroid disorders. We believe in caring for your child while helping you learn how best to manage your child’s condition. |
