Sue Larkey Podcast - Autism (ASD), ADHD, ODD and PDA education SLP 137: Key Strategies for Toilet Training Kids with Autism
Toilet training kids is a big task even for neuro-typical children. Parents often procrastinate over when to start and we keep delaying it for whatever reason we can think of!
My biggest concern for children with ASD is if they are not out of nappies by five years of age then they often start to lose muscle control and can end up with long term bowel and bladder issues.
Toileting is not something that the child will grow into or get better with age. We all need to action ASAP – and this includes schools.
If a child is attending pre-school or school when the parents are toilet training then everyone needs to get behind the toileting programme and provide consistency all day every day until the child has mastered it.
