In ABA, toilet training is often approached using a process called “toilet training readiness assessment,” which involves evaluating a child’s skills and abilities related to toilet training, such as their ability to recognize when they need to use the bathroom, their physical ability to use the toilet, and their motivation to learn.

During toilet training, RBTs may use a variety of behavior analytic techniques, such as positive reinforcement, prompting, and fading, to teach and reinforce the desired behavior of using the toilet. The specific strategies used may vary depending on the individual’s needs, skills, and preferences, as well as any challenges or barriers they may face.
