Toilet Training

"As with most skills, toilet training is more likely to succeed if started early, as early intervention prevents the child from developing poor toileting habits and an over reliance on nappies. Therefore is it very important that a parent knows when the child is ready.

Children with Down syndrome can be toilet trained at around the same age as a typically-developing child, however children with certain medical conditions or who have complex physical needs may need assistance from specialists and advice from their medical team prior to commencing a toilet training programme".

Taken from the introduction to a new booklet written by Ann Haig Wheeler and sponsored by Incontinence Promotion Unit of the HSE, we now have copies available. If you are interested in copies, please send a self-addressed envelope to us as follows: Toilet Training Booklet, Down Syndrome Centre, 62-63 Lwr Mounttown Road, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin.
