Free Webinar | Toileting independence starts here
Toileting Independence Starts Here
Toileting independence looks different for every autistic child, teenager and adult. There's no single age or milestone that decides when someone is ready.
This free webinar looks at what gets in the way of toileting progress, from constipation and withholding to sensory differences, communication and routine. Behaviour Consultant Renee Collins and host Shannon Eeles will cover how to find the next skill to teach, whatever stage your family is at.
You'll learn when to seek medical or continence support, how to work with allied health professionals, and how to teach toileting skills gradually while respecting your family member's dignity, privacy and right to say no.
Whether you're supporting a toddler, a teenager or an adult, this session will give you a clearer picture of where to start and how to move forward.
