📣 EXPRESSION OF INTEREST — TOILET TIME: DEVELOPING TOILET SKILLS IN YOUNG CHILDREN with Debbie Atkins

Achieving independence with toileting is an important milestone in a child’s life. However, learning to use the toilet takes time, and there can often be challenges along the way.

💭 Do you want to start teaching toilet skills with your child but are not sure where to begin?
💭 Are you having difficulties introducing a toilet routine?
💭 Are you interested in exploring different strategies to support your child’s toilet learning?

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

We are currently seeking Expressions of Interest from Perth parents and caregivers of children aged 3-6 years for our upcoming Toilet Time workshop with Debbie Atkins, Occupational Therapist and Continence & Toileting Expert.

This 2-hour, evidence-informed and interactive workshop is designed to equip parents and caregivers with practical knowledge and strategies to support their child’s toilet learning journey.

Interested in attending?

🔍 A neurodiversity-affirming lens recognises neurological differences as natural variations in the human experience. Rather than pathologising these differences, this approach celebrates neurodiversity and seeks to create environments and support systems that respect and accommodate diverse learning and communication styles.

Although it has been suggested that behavioural approaches like Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) are evidence-based, they have also been highly controversial within the Autistic community. Bioethicists have questioned whether these practices may violate human rights by failing to respect neurodivergent individuals’ autonomy and self-determination.

By adopting a neurodiversity-affirming approach, we can build more inclusive, empathetic and affirming support systems for neurodivergent individuals. This involves a profound and necessary paradigm shift away from outdated behavioural practices. 💫

Autism is a neurological difference, not a defect or disorder that needs to be "fixed”. Autistic individuals are whole and complete as they are. Let’s prioritise supporting Autistic individuals, advocating for their inclusion and educating society about neurodiversity. 💡🌈
