Toilet Training

Students are accepted in to the Toddler program at ECLC with the hope that they have at least a ‘beginning awareness’ of their toileting needs. While diapers or “pull-ups” will be allowed initially, our plan is that the child will gradually become more capable of taking care of his/her own toileting needs - including no longer needing to wear diapers. For students on the youngest end of this spectrum ECLC has personnel specifically designated to help out with their diapering and toileting needs. After a reasonable amount of time has elapsed, and taking the child’s developmental level into account, if there seems to be no noticeable progress in this area, the parents may be consulted by the teachers to work out a temporary plan to address the situation. Options may include a reduction in the time the student spends at school each day.
