In A Practitioners Guide to Toilet Training, for this course, the practical stakes show up in safe, humane intervention that respects health variables and daily-life feasibility, not in abstract discussion alone.

The assessment and treatment of incontinence is a comprehensive process that, for many clients, requires significant ecological and programmatic modifications. To date, there is a dearth of toilet training resources or guidelines that may support behavior analysts' clinical decision-making throughout every component of intensive toilet training programs. Thus, the purpose of this presentation is to discuss the literature on evidence-based intensive toilet training programs, review practical considerations for implementation, and provide suggested guidelines for decision-making.
