With compassion and clarity, The Adaptive Toolkit transforms potty training from overwhelming to achievable—for every child.

At its core, this toolkit embraces what “adaptive” truly means—modifying the process to fit each unique child. Just like a wheelchair or an AAC device helps a child thrive, the tools and strategies in this book are tailored to help every child build independence and confidence through potty training.
