"The workshop was well-structured and highly informative. It provided clear frameworks/strategies for the different clinical presentations and what to consider. The key takeaways for me was learning the highly intensive nature of toileting interventions and the importance of contracting at the outset to ensure everyone is committed to the process as it sets the foundation for a successful intervention. Definitely a must for paediatric-focused OTs. Massive fan of this presenter!"
Francesca B, Occupational Therapist
"Overall, I found the toileting workshop incredibly valuable and highly relevant to everyday clinical practice. The content was practical, evidence-informed, and presented in a way that made application to both clinic and home environments straightforward. The workshop reinforced how sensory processing, interoception, postural stability, routines, and emotional regulation all play essential roles in readiness and success."
Anna, Occupational Therapist
