Toilet Training

julieann71

Hi, my daughter Lillie is 6 and has ASD amongst other complex needs and we have recently started on the long journey of toilet training.  We would really appreciate any feedback off parents who have been successful in this long and difficult task!! Also please include any tips or ideas of things you tried that worked.

Thanks

  • Hello, i have an eleven year old and he wasnt toilet trained until he was maybe 7 ......I tried every trick in the book with him, we made him a story board which was laminated and was in our toilet at home and in the school, so we were all using the same symbols/pictures, I had an "Autism Advisor" at the time and she suggested i get a "poppy cat book" cant quite remember the name of the book but it all folds out and makes a little paper house theres a living room/kitchen and a bathroom, which includes a toilet, at the time my son loved scooby doo so we made silly puppet shows of scooby needs the toilet and showed him using the book what happened (hes a visual learner) theres probably more we tried and the school was really helpful too.
    I wish i could say we had a magic answer but one monday morning he woke up told me he didnt need a nappy anymore, walked upstairs and did a pee, and i can honeslty say that was him sorted, from that moment on he still has occasional accident but thats because he leaves everything to the last min and sometimes isnt fast enough to the toilet, hope this helps a little, there is hope xxxxxxxx
