Description
If you are caring for a child or young person who needs extra support with toileting, this book has the advice and guidance you need. Toileting differences and withholding are common in young people, but parents and carers of neurodivergent or disabled children often find that the standard advice doesn't apply. If you feel out of your depth and aren't sure what to do next, you are not alone. This practical, compassionate guide is tailored to the needs of neurodivergent and disabled young people. Written with parents and carers in mind, it's packed with actionable ideas in accessible formats. You'll explore how key factors like communication needs, sensory processing and co-occurring medical conditions impact toileting and feel empowered to support your young person in their toileting journey.
