Abstract

Toiletting training can be challenging for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Skill deficits in the areas of self-help may be a significant problem for students with ASD. The purpose of this study was to describe a toilet training program in special education services. The program is compiled based on a needs analysis. The factors analyzed are the condition and ability of the child and what efforts have been made by the teacher and parents. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive-analytical methods. Participants of this study were two students with ASD in age 10-15 and teachers. Data collecting used observation and interview techniques.

The program was implemented by following that stages and using reward and punishment in its implementation. The Toilet Training program is disseminated to parents so the program at home can run in line with school programs
