Why use a toilet training social story?

Many children benefit from visual information when learning new routines. Social stories help make expectations clear, reduce uncertainty and provide consistent language across home and educational settings. This story uses straightforward visuals and repeated messaging to help children understand where poo belongs and what to do when they need to use the toilet.

Including both Poo and Poop versions means the story can reflect the language that is already familiar to the child, supporting greater understanding and consistency.

Every resource is designed and illustrated exclusively by Amanda McGuinness, combining professional expertise with lived experience to create practical, engaging and neuroaffirmative visual supports for families and professionals.
