Autistic kids can have a difficult time making the transition from diapers to the toilet. ABA Therapy offers several tested strategies for toilet training.
Children will engage in specific behaviours when they're ready to begin toilet training.
Readiness Signs:
Wanting to be changed if wet or soiled
Always going to a specific place to have bowel movements
Touching or pulling on diaper
Asking questions about the toilet
Wanting to watch others use the toilet
There are 2 Approaches to Training: schedule training and intensive training.
Schedule Training:
Take data!
Determine the schedule
Be consistent
Reinforce successes
Intensive Training:
Make sure you'll be home for a few days in a row
Take frequent bathroom trips
Reinforce successes
Fade prompting quickly

Diapers, Pull-ups or Underwear?
Transitioning from diapers to underwear can be stressful! From the child's perspective, it's a huge change and from the parent's perspective, it can mean A LOT of laundry.
It is important for the child's learning to make this transition smoothly. It can be very confusing for the child if they're back and forth between underwear and diapers.
We always recommend transitioning to underwear full time during the day and pull-ups at night. If necessary, some parents will put a diaper on over top of the child's underwear to help contain any accidents.

Glad you liked it! When you trained your kids, which method did you use? A schedule or intensive training? Or maybe a combination of both?
