Toilet training

Toilet training your child might seem like a daunting task. There are many different evidence-based methods of toilet training that we can implement with your child. We will design a treatment plan focusing on increasing your child’s independence in the bathroom; our therapists and BCBAs have multiple techniques that we can share with you as parents and caregivers that you can successfully use in the home or community. Toilet training can take a variety of different forms based on the individual skills of your child.
