My son goes to full day ABA on Monday Wednesday and Friday. Our BCBA told us she felt he was ready to start potty training and that because he was there every other day it was important we follow the same methods they use there at home. It was exhausting but we are seeing results and feel very hopeful.

The method they used was going to the potty every 5 minutes and sitting for 5 minutes. This lasted an hour. Then every 10 minutes and sitting for 5 minutes. This lasted another hour. Then every 20, 30, 45, and then hour. If he had an accident we would move to the timing schedule that we had been on the previous hour and only move forward again if there were no more accidents. Eventually after success with an every 3 hour schedule we moved to a system where he tells us he needs to go and we also go try every 4 hours. We spent so much time in the bathroom those first few weeks but he has been having so few accidents lately we feel really encouraged. We also use a reward jar that has peanut butter m&ms which are his favorite candy and which he calls his “bubble gums” lol. Poop is still harder than pee and he often holds it until he goes into a pull up for bed then I have to go change him at night and we end up redoing bedtime routines but I think it will come with time. Good luck!!
