Occupational Therapy
Toileting
Learning toileting skills is an important milestone in a child’s development. For some children, this process can take longer or require additional support. At On The Ball Pediatric, our occupational therapists work with children and families to help make toileting a more comfortable and successful experience.
We understand that every child develops at their own pace. Our therapists take a supportive, individualized approach that focuses on building routines, confidence, and independence while reducing stress for both children and caregivers.
Supporting Children and Families
Toileting support is most effective when families feel supported as well. Our therapists work closely with parents and caregivers to provide practical strategies that can be used at home and in daily routines.
At On The Ball Pediatric, our goal is to help children gain the confidence and independence they need while making the toileting process more positive for the entire family.
In a nutshell
How Occupational Therapy Can Help
Toileting challenges can be influenced by many factors including sensory sensitivities, motor skills, communication, and routines. Occupational therapy helps identify the underlying barriers and develop strategies that support success.
Support may include:
- Building consistent toileting routines

Therapy plans are tailored to each child’s needs and developmental stage.
