Participantswill include a minimum of 15 parent-child dyads who meet the following inclusion criteria: (1) a formal diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or features of ASD (i.e., awaiting diagnosis); (2) between 2 and 5 years of age; (3) parent-reported toileting problems; (4) absence of a physical/medical condition affecting that may make implementation of a behavioural intervention unsafe and are not being effectively managed; and (5) not currently receiving services in the target domain.
Children will be excluded from the study if they are currently under the care of a paediatrician, gastroenterologist, or other specialist with respect to toileting as these children are likely to have co-occurring medical conditions or difficulties that require a more comprehensive intervention. If in doubt, we will consult with the specialist providing this medical care, to determine the safety and suitability of the programme.
