Description:
Episode 13 dives into toilet training through the lens of Applied Behavior Analysis—because my youngest is in the thick of it right now. We start with a quick, practical rebuttal to insurers who argue toileting “isn’t an autism target,” and explain why communication, social routines, and rigidity make it absolutely relevant. Then we unpack classic intensive models (Azrin & Foxx) and LeBlanc’s updates, including when ethical “positive practice” is truly warranted. Next, we cover less-intensive, family-friendly schedules and reinforcement. Finally, we spotlight urine alarms like Wet Stop.
