Toilet Learning: Supporting ALL Children
2025-10-23 18:30 - 20:00
Presented by: Alexis Ford, Quality Improvement Services Coordinator and Joanne Funtila, Inclusion Specialist
Toilet learning is a developmental milestone that looks different for every child-especially those with sensory sensitivities, disabilities, or developmental delays. In this interactive training, we’ll explore how to support all children through the process of toilet learning in respectful, responsive, and inclusive ways. Join us for an informative session designed to help families and early childhood educators support children through the toilet learning process.
• Learn strategies that are respectful, developmentally appropriate, and inclusive of children with sensory sensitivities and disabilities
• Gain practical tips, explore adaptive tools, and build confidence in creating supportive, individualized plans for every child’s success.
You’ll leave with practical tools, visual supports, and adaptable strategies to create a supportive toileting experience for every child-no matter where they are on their learning journey.
