# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Adults
We have a wide range of powered and manual wheelchairs here at the Centre which you can try out during an assessment with us. We do not sell wheelchairs but we offer independent and objective advice by qualified and trained occupational therapists and can give you details of suppliers and other relevant information. Occasionally we need to do joint assessments with a local representative who will bring a selection of products or a specific piece of equipment. We have a track at the Centre where clients can try out powered wheelchairs over different surfaces, cambers and road humps.

We also have a selection of ramps including folding ramps, channel ramps and threshold ramps. There are often a variety of solutions to help you adapt your property, but we always recommend that you arrange a no obligation home demonstration by a local supplier to assess any ramp. It is always worth contacting your local occupational therapy team in Social Services as they should be able to advise you of any problems in accessing your property.

Children under five
There are two powered wheelchairs to choose from:

Wizzybug is a powered wheelchair designed specifically for children under five who, due to their condition, are unable to walk, who can only walk with difficulty or who may need to save energy for other activities so that they can experience mobility and fun.

Wizzybug can be used indoors, at home and at pre-school, and outdoors in accessible areas such as gardens, playgrounds and parks.

It is not expected that Wizzybug will be a child's only method of getting around, but it will be a useful, child-friendly addition to other mobility equipment.

Borrow a Wizzybug for FREE
Requests are welcome from both therapists and families. Please contact Designability's occupational therapy team on 01225 824103, who will help you decide whether the Wizzybug might be beneficial for your child. There will be a simple application form to fill in, which they can send to you. Testing out the Wizzybug will take place at either Designability in Bath or at the William Merritt Centre in Leeds. Normally Wizzybug will be ready to take home on the day of the assessment. No deposit is needed.

MERU Bugzi is a powered indoor chair for children aged one to five, enabling independent mobility, often for the first time in their lives.

An ideal introduction to switch and joystick use, Bugzi is safe, compact and manoeuvrable - the perfect wheelchair 'trainer'. Each Bugzi's seating and controls can be adapted the child grows. Bugzi has a programmable controller, postural seating and rechargeable batteries.

Borrow a Bugzi for FREE
Requests are welcome from both therapists and families. An application form can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website and should be sent to MERU directly. If the application is accepted, a Bugzi will be sent to your nominated centre where you will be invited for an assessment. On the day of the assessment, the Bugzi will normally be ready to take home. A £100 deposit is required, which is refunded when the Bugzi is returned.

The maximum weight limit of a child using Bugzi is 25kgs.

We have a wide range of scooters for adults here at the Centre which you can try out during an assessment with us.

Social scripts are a communication strategy to help support children's understanding of events, social situations and more. They help describe what to do and promote independence.

They are always positive and avoid placing blame on an individual.

Social scripts can provide a positive and clear way of describing going to the toilet, reducing frustrations and supporting your child's understanding.

You can download, print and personalise for your child by using your own photos and language that you use with your child.

There are 6 pages to print, on single sides. The flash cards can be cut out and stuck to card or laminated.

Interoception and toilet training

There is evidence that some children learn to recognise their body signals of a full bladder and bowel after they learn to use the potty and toilet and have developed a toileting routine.

Current thinking suggests that it is not necessary to wait until children show signs that they recognise they are weeing or pooing, but that a regular toileting routine can help them learn to use a toilet or potty and the awareness of their body sensation can sometimes be understood and responded to afterwards.

We can't know exactly what a child is feeling, but we can understand a great deal by watching their behaviour and responses.

If children understand and notice how their body feels they can then begin to respond to their physical needs, including learning toileting skills.

How does Interoception work?

We all have sensory receptors in all our internal organs and muscles. These respond to sensations experienced and create a stimulus that is transmitted along the nerve fibres to the brain. There it connects with other sensations, memory and knowledge and the brain make sense of these messages.

In this way we learn how our body feels and it helps us to know when we are tired, excited, hungry, and need the toilet. This can connect to parts of the brain that make decisions and stimulate our body to respond.

Interoception and toilet training tips:

Understanding messages from their body helps children with toilet training. Learning how to link the signals from their bodies with their bowel and bladder actions can be really helpful for them.

Here are some tips for including this as part of your child's learning process to get clean and dry:

Teach your child how their body makes wee and poo and how it tells them when it needs to come out.

Instead of asking if they want to go to the toilet, ask if they can feel any wee or poo that wants to go in the toilet? This will help them make sense of the messages they are receiving.

Pictures and videos on how the body works and the bowel and bladder are fun and make sense of why we use the toilet.

Include body awareness to help children understand the messages from their bowel and bladder
Identify if children are having difficulty learning Interoception messages and take this into account. A sensory assessment may be helpful.

Interoception and constipation

Constipation is very common in children. It can be uncomfortable and is often painful.

Children's awareness of these sensations often can make them afraid of pooing. This can cause children to withhold their poo to avoid the discomfort and the frightening sensations. This makes the constipation worse.

It is important to treat the constipation effectively, but we also need to understand how a child is feeling and interpreting the messages from their intestine and body.

We need to evaluate and respond to their feelings and anxieties. We need to address the constipation, and at the same time include strategies to help with their understanding of body sensations and help the anxiety linked these feelings.

Emotional understanding and Interoception

Emotions such as anxiety and excitement can stimulate the functioning of internal organs, and this is linked to hormonal effects caused by adrenaline.

Our body sensations are very closely linked to our feelings and emotions. Anxiety causes a rapid heart rate, and increased shallow breathing, as well as sometimes affecting digestion.

Many of our body's reactions help people to notice and understand emotions including feelings of tension and relaxation.

These feelings can sometimes be confusing and worrying and can sometimes be linked to difficulties with control of the bowel and bladder.

There is increasing understanding about the complex interaction of body signals, emotions and learning in children.

It is important to understand the impact of internal sensations on children's toilet training and take these into consideration to tailor programmes to meet their specific needs.

We are also learning more about this and this will be helpful for children and families in future.

Children with autism

Autistic children with sensory difficulties may have more difficulty in understanding and noticing their body signals. It can take them longer to make sense of what they mean. If this is not appreciated it can be mistaken for laziness or lack of co-operation.

These children may need more help and prompts to achieve a reliable awareness of toileting needs and become clean and dry.

They do usually achieve this, but it may be more difficult and they often need more support.

How to help children understand their sensations

Identify and understand how a child is feeling and responding

Talk to children and help them understand how their body is feeling.

Help them understand how their body works, videos, pictures and stories can help

Help them to understand the difference between the feelings of normal bowel activity, discomfort and pain

Explore the size of pain and discomfort, with showing with their hands the size; score out of 10-; a bit, a lot, loads, huge.

If children are having difficulty noticing and understanding their body sensations:

Link body feelings to routines and other activities, e.g. we sit on the toilet before football, or play time.

Use other cues reminders and prompts e.g. picture cues alarms, vibrating watches

Reward effort as much as success

Older children and teenagers

Body awareness can cause problem for older children. It is never too late to help children tune into their body sensations.

Ways to do this include:

Talking to your child and helping them practice noticing how their body is feeling.

Some children enjoy the 'be a scientist' approach to keep a record of their wee and poo and their sensations, which may help their understanding.

Help may be needed for some such as with timers or visual cues, and reminders linked to day time routines.

Body awareness signals may be more difficult to notice as social and educational demands increase as young people grow older. Increased internal body signals can also occur with anxiety, especially about toilets and be linked to holding in the wee and poo, or sometimes going to the toilet more often. Understanding this can be helpful to work out solutions.

Research has found that children don't receive as many sensations from neurological receptor stimuli in the brain when they are absorbed in activities, such as when playing on computer games.

This may be linked to the body awareness sensations being more subtle. Sensations from inside our bodies may not be as intense as other sensations and may be more difficult to notice.

Interoception is our eighth sense which responds to signals and sensations from inside our bodies. It interprets the signals such as the feeling that the bladder is full, and when we need to poo.

Toileting Support for Children with Autism

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
One of the most important things to consider is how your child's sensory issues may affect toilet training. We have on this and also ways to lots more information and tips reduce toilet anxiety, and other stresses.

Help your child to understand toileting and become used to going to the toilet in different places such as nursery, friend's houses, and public toilets. Remember signs can be different in public toilets and other settings outside your home.

Try to use the same words and language to talk about wee and poo and going to the toilet.

Use our Toileting Social Script and Toileting Visual Schedule as part of the programme.

You can also download this social story created by one of ERIC's Trustees, Dr Eve Fleming, about understanding how children can learn to use the toilet.

If you are a professional working with a child and their family, remember that families and education settings often need regular and ongoing support. It is always helpful to have a clear plan and explanation, with regular reviews of progress.

Try to see toileting experiences from your child's perspective. Help your child to become comfortable in bathrooms and sitting on toilets.

Think about anxiety and how to reduce this. Children often need a great deal of reassurance, games and songs.

Keep the toilet experience fun and relaxed. Consider using special fiddle toys, or books to practice sitting on the toilet.

Check your child's position on the toilet. Let them use a footstool so their knees are raised, and often leaning forwards. This makes sure the large bowel is at a good angle for emptying.

Some children may like a toilet seat with padding, or a different shaped toilet seat to feel secure.

Help your child understand about weeing and pooing in the toilet. Pictures stories and picture cards will help your child to understand how their body works, and where wee and poo comes from.

Break up the toileting programme into small steps.

Withholding
Lots of children withhold their poo, by tightening their abdominal and bottom muscles. The triggers for this are constipation and anxiety, and both very common in autistic children.

Look out for signs of straining while your child is sat on the toilet or standing up. Usually, they are not trying to pass their poo, but trying to stop it from coming out. They may cross their legs and lean backwards, making all their muscles become tight to hold the poo in.

Children don't do this on purpose or to be naughty. Withholding is a learned reaction which usually happens after a child passes a poo which they found uncomfortable or painful.

Get more information about withholding poo and how to support your child so the cycle of holding on can be broken.

For autistic children, it is essential to treat the physical causes of constipation in combination with strategies to help their anxiety. Once their poo is helped to be soft, it is easier to help them relax and let it go. Read more about supporting austistic children with constipation.

Sensory differences/needs are very common in autistic children and may be linked to distress if your child is upset by too much sensory stimulation.

Anxiety is often a cause of avoidance of toileting, bathrooms and toilets. It's important to try to find out what makes your child uncomfortable in bathrooms and make adjustments to make the environment feel safer and more comfortable.

Lack of sensation often leads to the child seeking additional sensations to help give adequate feelings and awareness, which are needed to develop toileting skills.

Think about the different sensations and profile of your child. A detailed sensory assessment by an Occupational Therapist may be very helpful for creating a programme that meets your child's need.

A carer is someone who, without payment, provides help and support to a friend, neighbour or relative who could not manage otherwise because of frailty, illness or disability. They may even be juggling paid work with caring responsibilities at home. Carers have a tough job - it can mean unrelenting pressure, little chance to relax and a lot of worry. The system is complicated, and the issue is hidden.

Carers' Resource provides support for carers, no matter what their age, race, religion or needs. Follow the links to discover what support we can offer you as a carer, or as someone who might work with carers.

We deliver services in Bradford, Craven, Harrogate and Selby Districts.
