Hickory Room, 3649 Center Road, Brunswick OH 44212

Workshop is FREE

Toilet training a child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can often be more complicated than training a typically developing child.  Each of the three main components of autism – social impairments, communication deficits, and restricted interests/repetitive behaviors – can interfere with the process.  This workshop will cover the methodologies of toilet training children on the autism spectrum. 

Parents and Caregivers will learn the following strategies:

• Recognizing toileting readiness and prerequisite skills
• Preparing needed materials
• Conducting the various types of toilet training methods
• Collecting and interpreting data
• Reinforcement, and troubleshooting

The workshop will include a power point presentation, accompanied by various handouts and take home items. It will also include time for group discussion and networking with other participants.
