Toileting

[Guest guest]

We used STEPS TO INDEPENDENCE ......byBaker, et al. The gudance in this

book helped us work out a directed plan for everyone to follow, using a

functional analysis model. This means, we started with a base line(where we

were, and then worked from there. For our son, that meant beginning with

every 30 minutes. (bowel training) until we got results in the appropriate

place, then 2 hours, then 3 hours. IT took until he was pst 14 for mostly

clean, until 15 when i stopped sending but one set of clothes to school.

Before I used the method detailed in this book, I was getting no where and

both he and I were frustrated - and you don't want to know what the school

had to say on this topic . We had weekly " Feces Meetings " , because the

school wanted me to carry a pager so I could come to school to change

him!!!!

Steps to Independence is a fabulous book!

When you read it, take note of the process and apply what works with your child

to other areas as well. I highly recommend this book.

We

used

STEPS

TO

The

gudance

in

this

book

helped

us

work

out

a

directed

follow,

using

a

functional

model.

This

means,

we

started

with

a

base

we

were,

and

then

worked

from

there.

For

our

son,

that

meant

beginning

with

every

30

minutes.

(bowel

training)

until

we

got

results

in

the

appropriate

place,

then

2

hours,

then

3

hours.

IT

took

until

he

was

pst

14

until

15

when

i

stopped

sending

but

one

set

of

Before

I

used

the

method

detailed

in

this

book,

I

was

getting

no

and

both

he

and

I

were

frustrated

-

and

you

don't

want

We

had

weekly

to
