Toilet and potty training can be a cause of anxiety for many parents. For some children it may literally happen overnight but for the majority it may take a little longer to get the hang of it. Either way, it is important for you and your child to be prepared for this exciting time in your their life when they finally become a big kid!
Kids love stories and can be great visual learners, especially children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, so using a story starring themselves can be a super effective way to motivate and encourage a child to use the toilet or potty. When we talk to families about what makes it hard for them to sit down and write a good story to help teach their kids new skills like toilet and potty training, they mostly say the time factor but it is also knowing what to write that is a major factor too!
Based on this, Little Star Early Learning decided to make a toilet and potty training story app that takes the guesswork out for families. The Toilet and Potty Training Story is already written for you - you just need to put your Little Star in the starring role!
Features include the ability to insert photos from your camera or album (use iPad square photo setting for best integration with pdf and visual supports-see below), edit your text, record audio, edit saved stories (up to 8 stories), and share stories in PDF format via email.
With the added bonus of being able to share your story via email you can send copies to preschool or school as well as easily make photo visual supports and schedules. You can also make up to 8 stories in case you wanted to address more than one skill.
The App also has its own tips section to help you with the toilet and potty training process and we have included some app extras on our website to help you along the way too.
By taking a positive approach to toilet and potty training and using a story and the strategies in this app families can be prepared for the worst and hope for the best!
