My DD3 is 6 years old and will be going into y2 in september. She has Downs syndrome, but more significantly to her, has ASD, meaning she's classed as having a severe learning difficulty. Has no language, but understands and uses some Makaton and PECS. Those are the difficulties, but on the plus side, she's very mobile (runs, climbs, jumps) and when she wakes, her nappy is always dry (until she does a huge wee 10 mins after getting up!) This, to me, says she has a good bladder capacity.
So I think its time to have a go at toilet training - anyone had any success with a child like my Issy? Even if you have no prior experience, any suggestions gratefully received.
