Many children with autism have difficulties with using the washroom. Parents and teachers often try many approaches to teaching the children to use the toilet independently. Not all children respond to the same teaching techniques. A method that is helpful in one child’s situation may not be useful in another case. Our consultants are often asked for suggestions for successful toilet training.

In thinking about setting up a program to help a child learn to toilet independently, the first recommendation would be to try to look at the problem from the perspective of the student with autism.

At Autimistic, our consultants are trained to create individual response plans to assist in getting a child with autism toilet trained.
