I really struggled when I started as a pediatric COTA/L. I had a 4-year-old non-speaking client who had a major meltdown in the clinic's bathroom — directly in front of the waiting room — while I was trying to help him become independent in toileting.
I was struggling with knowing how to go about addressing toileting goals. There were not many resources available. I was feeling more and more incompetent, lost, and overwhelmed, with over 70% of my caseload over the age of 3 still in soiled pull-ups.
Then I discovered this evidence-based toilet training system. Everything changed. I learned how to address underlying skills, measure progress, improve carryover, and bill for toileting goals. I was able to toilet train even the most challenging cases — including an autistic 13-year-old nonspeaking teen with a history of potty training fails.
If you implement each step in this course, you'll know exactly how to approach different behaviors, address underlying skills, solidify carryover, and get your clients independent in toileting.
The Toilet Training Success Academy has been an invaluable resource in expanding my expertise as a therapist while helping me feel confident in providing families with solutions that actually work.
The course includes evidence on protocols that work and that are individualized. The details and helpful checklists make you the expert on how to choose the right protocol.
I love how in-depth the course went into evidence-based toilet training methods in different settings. Exploring the underlying reasons for various challenges was extremely helpful.
