non verbal with potty training

August 28, 2006

hi,

My frined's non-verbal baby girl is just about 2.6 yrs. She is in

kindergarten. She doesn't know how to express even when the stool is

already in the diaper. Can every one tell me how to teach the baby

girl or how to do the potty training?

Thank you very much.

My best advice is sign language!! I hope they are trying to find why she is

non-verbal. Signs helped my son TREMENDOUSLY!! It was great. It helped

frustration. You can look up basic ones on the internet. It may take a bit

for her to get used to them, but do the sign and say the word. Don't make it

complicated. say juice and do the sign for juice. say milk and do the sign

for milk. My son was very intersted in trying and used them a great deal

before he started to communicate effectively with speech.

You have to be persistent though. Even if she isn't using them right away,

you keep using them. Only introdue a few. Don't try using 10 different signs

in 1 day! Once she gets the hang of 1, then you can introduce another!

My son's favorite sign--- cookie!! :-)

I also have a 2 year old. Is the baby ready to be potty trained? My daughter

knows the sign for her little potty but has no interest in it at all. Not every

2 year old is ready to be potty trained. Does she care that the poop is in her

diaper, my daughter could care less?

If she is ready to be potty trained and is non verbal, you could try teaching

her sign language or to use pictures to communicate. If you want to teach her

sign language it make take 6 weeks from the time you start teaching her until

she understands how to do the sign and what it means. Most signing kids make the

sign for attention before they realize the use of communicating.

>I am in the stages of potty training my 2 1/2 yr old. he does really

well! remember, he understands you perfectly so speak to him/her like

a normal toddler. i find the easiest thing is the let them walk

around without a diaper. they have an accident on the floor, expalin

to htemit goes in the potty. diapers make it too convient for them.

Hi My son was dx with verbal apraxia .I was having a hard time with the potty

training myself I thought it was just real hard without him being able to talk

and tell me when he needed to go but he understands everything you say to him

and now I think it wasn't the talking he just wasn't ready.He has been potty

trained now for 2 weeks Hew haw no more diapers and he is 3yrs old and 2mos. So

really it might be she just isn't ready. tells in these ways about needing

to go: he now points down there or holds himself ,or pulls on you to take him to

the bathroom. Today was his 1st day of preschool I was so glad to pick him up

and see that he had the same outfit !!!!!! Good luck with the potty .

Merci

Pictures! I just started using pictures with my son last week. Wow!

He caught on in a heartbeat. I put a picture of a diaper up with the

rest of them (food, books, bedtime, etc.) and was very surprised when

he brought me the picture of the diaper. Since then, he consistenly

brings me the picture when his diaper is dirty. I had NO idea he even

cared about the dirty diapers. This is our first step but I am not

going to start for a few more months.
