What's the best way to potty train a 4 yr old boy with mild cerebral palsy?!
Question:
He has spasticity in his right calf, hamstring and hip. He walks with difficulty. We are not sure if he feels or understands the sensation of what it feels like to "go". Cognitively he is exceptional.
Answers:
You may try and train him like a puppy. Sit him on the toilet after he wakes up in the morning or after naps. Also after playing, after eating, and before bed time; and any other time you see that look on his face. Don't forget to verbally re-enforce what you are doing."u need to potty?", "Yeah lets go potty",ect.
Once he begins to combine the bathroom, with the feeling of using the bathroom, and your pleasure when he makes waste.it may become more natural.
