Practice makes perfect. Also, sometimes when a technique is used, your child may not be ready for it. So, revisiting different ideas is great to really figure out what works best. Thank you for posting. Have a great week! CSW and Kim, I am glad that you are both going to try some of these strategies again. Practice makes perfect.

I still have puddles and I am going to give the target method another try! Hoping that it will help him concentrate and less messes for me, Thank You I have been trying for 14 yrs to get my son to concentrate on the toilet when he pees.

He has a combo of SPD and anxiety, and though I can get him to use the potty usually at least once a day, he's not ready to lose the diapers. I've tried most of these ideas before, but guess I need to cycle through them again. My son turned 5 last month and is still struggling with potty training.

The issue I have is that my son every time he goes and says potty (he doesnt go every time he says it) he just says it to get in there and says bath time. I cant seem to get him to say potty when he has to go potty...its just a ploy to get in the bathroom to get to the bath tub. I am going to try the music and the fidget toys.

We have been working on potty training for over 2 years now with my son & we use several of your suggestions! The reward for little steps & scheduling before a preferred activity worked best for us. Hank still isn't there yet but has made continual progress & what more can a parent ask for! Thanks for your advice! Keep 'em coming!! This is great advice!

My son is in 5th grade as well. Struggling as well. The IEP has just kind of " reached a peak". I am currently living in Georgia( have all my life, and all my sons life) and I am considering MOVEING near this place ( because i will do whatever I can, as you would as well to help him) I know I feel helpless sometimes , and I KNOW he wants to learn....he just learns differently. ASPIE brains are wired alittle different, does not mean they are not as smart though, IF THEY ARE TAUGHT the way THEY LEARN. I hope things work out for you. We are planning on comming to ashville to look for a house tomorrow, from Georgia. I hope they are better than where we are now....Sincerely,-Another aspergers Mom. April( and others),

Greatly appreciate it! Jessica, as far as other suggestions, try the visual strategies and let me know how it goes. You could also try setting a timer and telling your daughter that she can fill up the bathtub until the timer goes off. Then she has to turn off the water. I hope this helps.
