Many children, including those with additional needs and disabilities do not show the signs that families have been encouraged to rely on to know when to start toilet training. Not showing the signs does not mean your child cannot toilet train. Rather than waiting for your child to appear to be ready to toilet train, it is recommended that you start to teach your child the skills that they will need to use the potty or toilet as early as possible. This will mean that your child is not expected to change their routine of using a nappy as they get older, which they may find difficult.
Toilet Training for Parents and Carers
Visit the website do2learn and you will be able to print out lots of picture cards to use with the child . You can share them with the nursery, so they are using the same for consistency. Visuals will help the child understand the steps.
