Becoming toilet-trained is a critical step towards personal independence and has a direct impact on the quality of life for both the individual and their caregivers. For individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, toilet training may be challenging and often occurs at a later stage in life. It is important to understand the skills required for toilet training and how to successfully break down and teach those skills. Developing a plan that is relevant to your child is a critical component to the success of toilet training at any age.
