Potty training a child with developmental disorders can present a vast array of challenges, many of which are not associated with teaching a neurotypical child how to use a potty. In this book, Brenda Batts overcomes difficulties and provides tried and tested methods that really work, tailored to each individual child. Bursting with ideas on how to see past conventional strategies and adapt toilet training to suit your child, this book outlines methods that have helped even the most despairing of parents and caregivers. Examples of success range from two year olds to adults aged twenty, and show that no matter how difficult it may seem, a little creativity and adaptation can get anyone toilet trained, no matter how many previous attempts have failed. The program itself is supported by plenty of helpful hints and tips, as Brenda covers all you need to get your child past the diaper stage and help them achieve a big step towards independence. This book will be essential reading for anybody looking to toilet train someone with developmental disorders.

Initially I felt daunted by the complexity of the toilet training process prescribed by the author. But I am only just beginning to learn about how to develop and enable my son, recently diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Condition, and that's the point... managing the behaviours of a child with autism IS often a complex process, and it often requires detective work and meticulous planning first! I followed the process to the letter, chucking the nappies for my 3 years and 10 months strek user three and a half weeks ago. He now uses the toilet at home, at Nana's, at Speech Therapy, at Pre-School, even the pub! The author's technique avoids the child becoming prompt-dependant, and as a ASD parent, you know how crucial that is if they are to develop independent Self Help skills. Today he rushed from the room saying 'I need a wee', interrupting his most favourite obsession of all time, Ice Age 2 on DVD...now, I call that truly toilet trained! The book includes a process, the preparation required, checklists, hints and tips, the most important of these being to individualise your programme to fit your child's personality, motivators, sensory issues, traits etc. I had despaired of training my boy before school, but the author advises on how to ensure skills are generalised across different environments. I learned lots of other behaviour management techniques, too, which could be applied to the learning of other skill, including behaviour strips, first/then visuals, and how to find motivators for my child. The process was hard work, but it has paid off; I feel really proud of what my son has achieved in just three weeks.

I bought this book because I needed some inspiration in toilet training my 4yo son with development delay. I have to say when I started reading it, I was very cynical and it seemed all a bit airy fairy to me. But I followed the rules and within days my son was telling me he needed to go to the toilet. It's completely different to other books I've read as it puts the child's interests at the centre of the training. It takes a bit of setting up before you start the actual training, but don't let that put you off, as it really does work. We are now a few months on and I can't remember the last time we had an accident.

Recommended by my son's paedatrition, however on first look it's a proper 'book' not alot of pictures, - not the type of 'book' i fancy sitting down in the evening for hours on end reading i must admit....... wanted something more 'helpful' in the day to day of potty training.....
