An extension of commonly used toilet-training procedures to children with autism spectrum disorder.

Abstract in brief

• This study aimed to adapt and test a toilettraining method originally designed for typically developing children on children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), focusing on whether the same components are effective or need modifications.
• The researchers successfully replicated Greer et al.'s findings with 11 children with ASD, indicating that intensive interventions like long sit schedules and reinforcement strategies might only be necessary for some children with ASD.
• The study also explored adjustments to the training approach when standard methods didn’t work, highlighting the importance of customizing toilettraining strategies for individual needs within the ASD population.]
