This workshop is for parent carers of children aged 6-25 who have additional needs or disabilities (with or without a diagnosis) in the UK.

All children learn to use the toilet at a different stage in their life. Children with additional needs may take longer to be ready to start toilet training and learn the process.

This online workshop will cover:

  • how the body works
  • the importance of healthy routines
  • what may impact toilet training
  • how to work with professionals
  • practical strategies to help children build essential skills
  • guidance to help you feel confident in recognising when a child may be ready to begin
  • the responsibilities of schools
  • advice about bedwetting and strategies to support

There will be time for questions, discussion, and signposting to further sources of advice and support.
