Join Sue for an upcoming Live Virtual Workshop where you will learn from Sue practical tips & strategies to make a difference.
In this episode, we will discuss:
✅ Visual supports provide permanent prompts for processing information slowly. ✅ Toilet training requires breaking into smaller achievable mini goals. ✅ Routine changes are extremely challenging for neurodiverse children. ✅ Constipation and stool withholding create significant behavioral challenges. ✅ Social scripts help introduce toileting concepts gently. ✅ Modeling toileting routines reduces fear and builds understanding. ✅ Multiple strategies needed - one approach rarely works.
