Occupational therapy practitioners bring a unique perspective to the healthcare team, in that OTPs focus on the daily function, meaning, and participation within ADLs such as toileting. In the pediatric population, the OTP role has continued to grow and become more valuable due to the need for holistic intervention regarding pediatric bowel and bladder health and continuation with toileting goals. OTPs practicing in pediatrics need a deeper understanding of pelvic health and how this impacts toilet training and toileting skills.

• Identify the signs of toilet training readiness and strategies to improve toilet training readiness
• Identify and describe 3 client factors that impact toilet training readiness including pelvic floor function
• Describe 3 motor skills requiring further assessment for pediatric patients struggling with potty training and continence
• Demonstrate 4 treatment techniques to improve participation in toileting for children with bowel and bladder dysfunction
• Describe the role other disciplines play in bowel and bladder health
