The Potty Training + Toileting Problems Toolkit: For Kids with Sensory Needs

The Potty Training + Toileting Problems Toolkit is for kids that are aged 2-10+.  It covers both how to initiate potty training and how to work through toileting problems that are related to sensory needs like having small accidents and not feeling wet, having sensitivities to lights/sounds/smells in the bathroom, sensitivities with wiping and feeling wet, being scared of falling in the toilet, and much more.

Every child and situation is unique, and so how soon you see improvement with toileting difficulties could range from immediately to a few months. The older a child is and the more severe their sensory needs, the more important it will be to use the strategies consistently for a longer period of time, up to 6-8 weeks.

Yes! As a therapist you can use the visual schedule, potty training planner, and tracker in treatment or as a resource for the families you work with. You can also use the sensory needs checklist as a screening tool and then the strategies to help guide treatment planning and share those strategies with parents/caregivers so they can implement them outside of therapy.
