Toilet training

Toilet training can be really challenging for children with autism and their parents.  Some children get confused with all the steps involved in using the toilet and some may have a fear of using the toilet.  I used to work with one child that was scared that he would fall down the toilet.

If you need some help making a visual schedule for a toilet routine then Do2Learn has some really clear and useful images for all the steps of the process:

I can also recommend the book Toilet Training for Individuals with Autism or Other Developmental Issues

Good luck!
