A clear, supportive social visual guide promoting hygiene, safety, and alternative sensory regulation strategies.
It Is Not Okay to Play With Poo is a structured, visually supported social guide designed to help Autistic and neurodivergent children understand appropriate toileting and hygiene boundaries in a clear, concrete, and developmentally respectful way.
This resource uses direct language paired with visual clarity to explain where poo belongs, why playing with poo is unsafe, and what children can do instead. The guide prioritises understanding, health, and emotional safety, rather than shame, punishment, or behavioural compliance.
This 10-page visual guide gently and explicitly supports children to understand that:
Poo belongs in the toilet
It is not safe to touch, smell, taste, or play with poo
Playing with poo can make people unwell
People who care may feel worried when poo is played with
Clean hands are important for health and safety
Sensory needs can be met through safe alternatives, such as sensory toys and play activities
The guide also reinforces handwashing as a protective, health-supporting routine and offers visual redirection towards appropriate sensory play, as shown throughout the pages.
Autistic and neurodivergent children
Parents and caregivers supporting toileting and hygiene
Early years settings and primary schools
SNAs, support staff, and therapists
Toileting and hygiene support plans at home or school
