ABA Potty Training Support – Helping Your Child Gain Bathroom Independence
Potty training is stressful enough — and for kids with autism, it can feel overwhelming. At Achieving Stars, we make toilet training easier with gentle, personalized ABA support delivered right in your home, so your child feels safe, confident, and ready to succeed.
Why Parents Choose In-Home ABA for Toilet Training
Parents searching for “ABA potty training” usually want two things: independence for their child and less daily stress for the family.
- “Accidents make our routines chaotic.”
- My child struggles with sensory issues in the bathroom.”
- “We just want them to feel proud and confident.”
We understand. That’s why our ABA potty training support is gentle, consistent, and tailored — never rushed or one-size-fits-all.
How Our ABA Potty Training Works
Our approach combines evidence-based ABA strategies with child-centered care:
HeadingMotivation First – Dr. Robert Koegel – Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT)
We identify natural rewards your child truly enjoys, making each success in the bathroom feel positive and worth repeating.
Joint Engagement – Dr. Connie Kasari – JASPER Model
We join your child’s focus, read their cues, and create trust before moving through each step of the process.
Social Understanding Made Simple – Sir Simon Baron-Cohen
We use visual stories and cue cards to help your child understand what’s coming next and feel more in control.
Natural Environment Teaching – Dr. Karen Pierce
We practice in the setting your child uses every day—your home bathroom—so skills transfer naturally.
Executive Function Support – Dr. Adel Najdowski
We break the task into clear, repeatable steps that are easier to remember and master.
- Functional Assessment: Understanding the why behind challenges (sensory sensitivities, communication barriers, routine changes).
- Step-by-Step Teaching: Breaking the process into clear, simple steps your child can master.
- Visual Supports & Stories: Helping your child know what to expect and feel in control.
- Motivation & Rewards: Making success fun and reinforcing progress.
- Caregiver Guidance: Showing you how to keep progress going without turning into the “therapist.”
➡️ Every plan is individualized — built around your child’s needs, your home bathroom, and your family’s daily routines.
