Toileting is a gradual process that varies for every child. At Bethelxafe Autism Foundation, we emphasize readiness, routine, and encouragement.
Understanding Readiness
Each child develops at their own pace. Signs of readiness may include:
- Awareness of wet or dry states
- Interest in bathroom routines
- Ability to follow simple instructions
Building a Toileting Routine
- Use visual step by step guides
- Keep routines consistent
- Offer simple choices
- Celebrate attempts, not just success
Maintaining a Positive Environment
Avoid pressure or punishment. Toileting should feel safe and encouraging.
