Questions
Where should I put a potty visual schedule?
Next to the toilet, at your child's eye level, where they can see it while sitting. Some families also put a second copy by the sink for the hand-washing steps.
Should the schedule say potty or toilet?
Use whatever word your child hears every day, and use the same word at home and at school or daycare. You can change every label in the maker.
How many steps should it have?
As many as your child needs right now. Some children need every small step; others only need the main ones. You can split or remove steps anytime.
When should we start potty training?
There's no single right age, and autistic children often learn on their own timeline. Signs like staying dry for longer or noticing a wet diaper can help you decide; your child's doctor can talk it through with you.
