Toilet Training Programme Consultation

Toilet Training Programme Consultation

 Independent toileting skills are one of the most important life skills a child can acquire. Achieving independence in toileting not only saves parents the hassle and expense of nappies, but also often breaks down barriers to inclusion and decreases life-long vulnerability. However, toilet training can be a difficult skill to teach.

Many children with developmental disabilities may have difficulties with toileting, and may require explicit and specialized strategies. At Reach Children’s Services, we have extensive experience with individualizing the toilet training process.

We can help if your child:

  • has not been successful with previous attempts at toilet training
  • will use the toilet when asked or on a schedule, but will not initiate
  • will urinate in the toilet, but will not have BMs in the toilet
  • demonstrates resistance or minor inappropriate behaviour when asked to use the toilet
  • Is at least 4, but is not displaying readiness skills

How does it work?

As with any of our services, the consultation process and level of support depends on your child’s individual strengths and needs. The process typically begins with an application and brief phone call. This is to ensure we can appropriately meet your needs before proceeding with the initial visit. You may be requested to chart toileting patterns for a period prior to the initial visit. 

If you would like to learn more about how our BCBA can design an individualized programme for your child, please contact us.

Please note that this service may not be suitable for children with intense medical needs or other co-morbid medical conditions. A GP’s permission may be required before proceeding with consultation.

Get in touch with us, we’d love to help!

There are many mixed emotions around the return to school for our children. Some of us are excited, some of us are worried and many of us are overwhelmed.

There are so many things out of our control, no matter how hard we try, we cannot control them. So what can we do?...

Here are some simple achievable steps we can put in place to make the coming days and weeks easier on the whole family.

1. Practice self-care: Choose one thing you can do for yourself each day. It can be as big or small as you wish, but make it achievable e.g. each morning, write 3 things you are grateful for; spend 5 minutes alone with a hot cup of tea of coffee; go for a walk outside (even if you just walk around your house once!)

2. Build structure and routine into the day: If you're anything like us, those waking and bedtime routines in place during school periods have really drifted. Try not to wait until a day or two before to re-establish those routines. Give everyone a chance to ease back into those bedtimes or school time routines.

3. Ask for help: People may not be able to call and visit or take the children for an hour, but even a chat with a family member, or parent in a similar situation. And there are so many parent support pages or professionals to connect with online.

4. Celebrate the small wins: Make sure and take a moment to celebrate the small wins every day. This could be as simple as your child trying a new food, or bedtime taking 5 minutes less time than usual.

5. Make time to connect with your child: Spend at least 5 minutes with your child playing and having fun with just one goal in mind, laughter!

Great perspective in this quote. 💪

So we still have several weeks of restrictions ahead, and it's all grown quite tiresome. For some, things may be looking up a bit with children returning to school. Others may be very apprehensive about the return.

If you're struggling still with some of the questions remaining about the return to school, services resuming, or any of the many other stressors in life these days, that's OK. You're certainly not alone, but also remember YOUR track record for getting through these days.
