We experienced night terrors with a 2 yr old placement we had. It was exactly the same...only an hour or two from the time he would fall asleep he would wake up screaming and crying. When you go into her room does she have a blank stare on her face and does it take a few seconds for her to kind of come out of it? If that's the case, then she is definately experiencing night terrors.
We took our FS to a therapist. The therapist did short little 20-30 minute sessions with him. We actually saw a difference after the FIRST session. He only needed about 6 sessions and the terrors were gone.
Get her into a therapist. It works. The therapist should only schedule sessions that are as long as your FD stays interested. If they are too long, your FD will get bored and not want to go back and you won't get anything accomplished.
This advice is coming from someone who called BS on therapists...up until I saw how this worked for the night terrors and we were back to getting a full nights sleep.
