Are you helping your child with disabilities through their toilet training journey?

Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities

Nearly all children can learn to be clean and dry – it may take longer, and they may need more support, but toilet training is a life skill. Learning to wee and poo in the toilet will change your child’s future, which is why we've created a new advice sheet to support you through this toilet training journey.

The advice sheet covers:
🔵What does children with additional needs mean?
🔵Where to start
🔵What if my child is older?
🔵Always suspect constipation
🔵What about the bladder?
🔵Extra support
🔵Getting going with toilet training

You'll find this advice sheet on our website - https://eric.org.uk/advice-about-bladders-bowels-and-toileting-for-children-with-additional-needs-2/

🗣Tag and share with any parents or carers you know who could use this advice.
