Synopsis
This comprehensive guide contains more than 200 toilet training tips and 60 case examples to guide parents and teachers of children with autism who need techniques beyond those used to toilet train other children.
Synopsis
Wetting and soiling clothes results in significant amounts of time, energy and resources being devoted to an individual's personal care needs, and can also significantly interfere with social acceptance. Research shows that persons with autism are the most difficult population to toilet train, not least because many techniques used to toilet train children are not sufficient when used to teach toileting skills to persons with autism. There are, however, strategies which have been demonstrated to be effective when teaching toileting skills, and Maria Wheeler explains these in an easy-to-read and accessible way in this new book, which covers all aspects of the subject and includes over 200 toilet training tips, and more than 40 case examples with solutions.
