Toilet Training and the Autism Spectrum (ASD) (häftad, eng)

It is often very difficult for children on the autism spectrum to learn to empty their bowel and bladder in the toilet, but with patience and persistence most children on the autism spectrum can be toilet trained. This book will equip professionals with the required knowledge and skill set to assess areas in toilet training that are causing difficulty, and give them the confidence to develop strategies to help children learn continence skills.Including a wealth of information on bowel and bladder function, the book explains how to identify when children are ready to start toilet training, covering assessment of physical, family and autistic dynamics, to help prepare children for toilet training and to develop and implement a toilet plan.

There are helpful suggestions for breaking down the steps in the toilet routine, dealing with sensory sensitivities, as well as assessing and overcoming specific bowel and bladder difficulties.This book will give early years practitioners, special education teachers, paediatric nurses, health visitors and other frontline professionals the knowledge and skills to support children with autism spectrum conditions and their families with toilet training.
