Partnership with the
family
Partnership with the family is critical throughout
the toilet training program, because the
program can only succeed if it is implemented
both in school and at home.
A meeting will be held with the parents to
coordinate expectations before the start of the
process. At this meeting, the following points
will be discussed:
The toilet training program is one of the
main objectives in the child’s personal
learning program (PLP), and has priority
over other programs.
Agreement that at the start of the toilet
training program, the child might not
participate in some of the school programs
(lessons or therapy) due to a toilet accident,
or because the lesson or therapy is at a
time when the child needs to go to the toilet;
In the initial stages of the toilet training
program, a child without a diaper cannot go
into the Snoezelen room or the sports
center, because of anticipated accidents.
The parents have to provide equipment
(many changes of clothes, wet wipes, etc.).
