hard to potty train 3 year old with sensory processing disorder.

by holly
(michigan grand rapids)

I am not the mother or father of the child. I babysit him. The parents can not find any way to potty train him. He is a good kid, but can be very hyper. He loves video games. I just can not get him to use the bathroom no matter how hard I try. He is three years old. I would really appreciate some help on how to potty train him. Thank you in advance. It would help me out alot if someone could help me. Thank you.

HI there-

2 of our kids have SPD and our 8 year old was just diagnosed with autism but very mild. He just learned how to have bowel movements and we believe the lack of muscle control was to blame. Because of his sensory issues he wasn't in tune with his body and could not feel the sensation. He was out on Miralax to soften the bowels to show it shouldn't hurt.

O.T. helped him big time and so did waiting. I know you probably didn't want to hear that but because of our experience with our 8 year old we will wait with our 3 year old.
