    SPEECH & COMMUNICATION THERAPY

    Using Visuals to facilitate toileting difficulties


    Many parents and teachers feel frustration when they have difficulty teaching children
    on the autistic spectrum, or with special needs to use the toilet correctly. There are
    many different toileting strategies and their success depends on the child and the
    nature of their communication difficulty. For some children a simple visual story works
    well. This story will break the toileting process into simple visual steps. By showing
    the child the story and taking them through each step, you can sometimes get the
    desired effect.

    However, this does not work for


    all children. One system I have
    found that works for some
    children is to use a character of
    interest to the child, alongside
    the visual story. If the child has
    reading ability you can also add
    speech boxes. The character of
    interest could be a children’s
    character such as Buzz
    Lightyear or Thomas the Tank
    Engine.

    By placing a picture of the


    character on each page of the
    story and reading the story as
    though it is read by the
    character sometimes has a
    greater impact than reading it
    yourself.

    book.
