| Sumario: | Toileting skills are a milestone typically achieved by the age of four. For many caregivers, particularly those who have children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder or other developmental disabilities, teaching toileting is a challenge resulting in delayed implementation. Delaying toileting increases the risk of challenges to acquiring this skill. Caregivers are fundamental and research shows that their involvement supports the maintenance and sustainability of this skill. Four caregivers were taught a 24-step toilet training program to teach toileting. Behaviors measured included urination success, urine accident frequency, and child requests for the bathroom. All caregivers learned the 24-step procedure and the toilet training package was effective in teaching three of the four children daytime urine continence. |
