About the course
This one day course will focus on the common toileting difficulties in autistic children. It aims to help with understanding the potential impact of autism on learning to use the toilet, alongside discussing specific continence issues. It will include information about toileting training, potential reasons why autistic children may have toileting difficulties alongside specific autism-related continence issues. The session will focus on both the need for detailed preparation, understanding of toileting readiness, alongside examining autism related continence difficulties such as only using certain toilets, smearing and sensory differences.
The course has been written by Dr Eve Fleming, Community Paediatrician and Lorraine MacAlister, a National Autistic Society Autism Training Consultant. Eve and Lorraine have both published articles in Nursing Times about autism and are authors of the book Toilet Training and the Autism Spectrum: A Guide for Professionals.
We look forward to seeing you in London!
