Toilet Training
Our Toilet Training support helps children and families build toileting skills, self-care and daily living independence with positive, individualised strategies.
Introduction
Toilet training can take longer for some children, particularly those with developmental delay, autism or sensory processing differences — and that is okay. Toileting skills are an important part of self-care and daily living skills, and building them supports a child's wider independence at home, at school and in the community. We take a patient, positive approach, building a plan around the child's readiness, routines and sensory needs, and coaching families every step of the way.
An initial consultation typically takes approximately 60–90 minutes, with follow-up sessions of approximately 45–60 minutes. Timing may vary depending on individual needs.
Areas of support
How it helps
We look at readiness, routines, communication and sensory needs before choosing strategies.
Approaches focus on encouragement and consistency rather than pressure or urgency.
Families, caregivers and educators use the same plan so the child gets the same message in every setting.
What to expect
A detailed conversation about your child's development, routines, and what has been tried so far.
A practical toilet training plan with routines, visuals and positive strategies suited to your child.
Follow-up sessions to troubleshoot, adjust the plan and keep progress moving.
