The NEW Toilet Training Toolkit
Everything you need to toilet train your autistic or additional needs child all in one box
Using pictures to break the toilet routine down into smaller steps helps understanding of what is expected. Visual supports really make a difference to both children and young people learning the new skill of toilet training.
We have teamed up with Clare Cusack of Orkid Ideas to create a comprehensive and versatile Toilet Training Toolkit to give you the tools you need to help toilet train your autistic or additional needs child.
This tool kit combines the award-winning TomTag visual supports with an engaging and motivating storybook and step by step guide to help you support your child to understand, communicate and be more independent with their toileting needs.
It's everything you need to toilet train your autistic or additional needs child all in one box!

How does TomTag work?
TomTag uses symbols to show a series of separate tasks or steps involved in a task that are part of a routine, a sequence of events in a timeline, or they can be used as a list to teach a new skill by breaking down a single activity into smaller steps.
Many children with autism and other additional needs have strong visual skills. They are more likely to remember and understand what they have seen rather than what they hear. Using a visual support like TomTag to present information visually and in a step-by-step manner allows visual thinkers and learners to take in information at their own pace. Visuals can also act as a reminder when children forget what's been said or become distracted, TomTag helps to bring their attention back to the task or current situation.
