Toilet training children with additional needs & disabilities – CPD accreditedSign up for our CPD-accredited webinar for practitionersBook now In this article Introduction While most children will show an interest in moving onto a potty or toilet when they’re around 2 years old, those who have additional needs or disabilities may not be ready to start until they’re older. Toilet training a child with additional needs can also bring up a range of possible difficulties along the way related to anxiety, sensory needs, communication differences, fine motor skills or family support needs. This CPD-accredited webinar for professionals will take an in-depth look at the process of toilet training and will equip you with all the practical strategies needed to create, implement, and manage toilet-training support and plans in your setting. This webinar is suitable for professionals in the UK who support children or young people of any age, with or without a diagnosis. This includes nursery or school staff, healthcare practitioners, early years practitioners, family support workers and childminders.
