Autism and continence

This course focuses on the common toileting difficulties in autistic children.

About the course


The course aims to explore why autistic children may find learning to use the toilet difficult, as well as more specific continence issues. The session will focus on the need for detailed preparation, examining other autism-related behaviour, such as only using certain toilets, smearing and response to sensory differences.

The course is designed for professionals who work with autistic children or adults and already have a good understanding of autism.

Please note: This course is offered as a package with access to our 'Understanding autism' e-learning module so that anyone who does not have a good understanding of autism can gain this knowledge prior to attending.
