Toilet Training inc. Children with Additional Needs - 16th November 2022

This half day session on Children with Additional Needs looks at the normal acquisition of bowel and bladder control, and the obstacles that may arise. Using the tools available on the ERIC website, we will explore the importance of assessment of bladder and bowel health and of readiness for toilet training, and how to apply what we learn to design individual toileting programmes.

Please note that you must have completed an ERIC Healthy Bladders & Bowels course within the last year before booking on to this training session.
