One Step at a Time Toilet Tips

The App is particularly for parents whose child has special needs. It was developed by health professionals who work in early intervention programs and specialist continence support programs for children with special needs.

Toilet training is something many parents find difficult. It takes time for a child to learn everything about using the toilet. The App gives you tips and pictures to help you.

The App contains a boy and a girl version. Each version has three sections:

Full Sequence the complete set of pictures for toileting. Each picture has a brief instruction you can use to help teach your child to know what to do.

Short Sequence gives 5 key aspects of toilet training that parents often overlook or find difficult:

• About the toilet
• Pants down pants up
• Sitting on the toilet
• Hand washing
• Bottom wiping

Each picture has a brief instruction you can use to help teach your child to know what to do.

Custom Sequence allows you to make a picture sequence and record your own instructions.

This App is based on the booklet One step at a time: A parent’s guide to toileting skills for children with special needs. The booklet and other resources about toilet training are available from www.continencevictoria.org.au
