toilet learning for the neurodiverse
every neurodiverse child is different
Knowing this, our potty training models emphasize neuro-divergent affirming practices, gentle guidance, and realistic expectations to create a potty training experience that is not only easy to follow, but creates a safe learning environment for both parent and child— encouraging connection and understanding.
Based in San Francisco, California. Nationwide travel available upon request.
How this package works
The in-person package begins with a phone call. Together, we’ll explore your potty training history, worries, and goals. From here, clients fill out an intake questionnaire with in-depth questions about their daily life and school environment. Using this, a potty training plan is developed that will easily fold your child back into “normal” life after the training days are completed.
The in-person days themselves are stretched over one week. I will arrive for a few hours a day, so we can guide your child through this process at their own pace.
what parents are saying
-
Cara is truly a life saver. She was not only able to potty train our non verbal autistic kid but was also able to make him independent which was such an important goal for us. She truly treated my son as her own family. My wife has spent countless hours in trying to potty train our son but because he is non verbal autistic we just lost hope but Cara literally potty trained him in just few days. For anyone who is reading these reviews and considering Cara. I would say just go for it you won’t regret.

after three previous potty training attempts with our daughter, we felt we needed someone to come in with experience, and an easy plan to follow. Cara gave us the direction we needed as well as a source of fun thorought the process.

Our daughter really took to Cara. the day was easier than we expected, potty training was the undertone but it mostly felt like a nice day spent at home with the family.

FAQs
How much does in-home potty training cost?
This in-home service package is $3,990. This includes 27 hours of in-home hands-on coaching, written plans that discuss continuance and future goals, and one month of on-demand remote support. Within the extended remote support portion, we communicate daily via spreadsheets and texts, and have at least one weekly check in-call.
What if my child is shy?
No prob! I fully believe in respecting children’s space, and do not force my presence upon them. Once we all have a chance to get acquainted, and I mention how I also think Daniel Tiger rocks, a bond usually starts to form.
What if the potty training process isn’t complete when the service is over?
All in-person packages include additional remote coaching. if the remainder of training can be addressed remotely, we will do so. If it cannot, we will restructure our 27 hours together to be of shorter duration over the course of more days so I can see you guys through to completion.
How much are parents required to be involved?
A lot! There must be a caregiver present at all times. This service is primarily to coach the adult through the process, since they will ultimately be the ones responsible for carrying out the tools we implement. In the beginning of the service i do take the lead and demonstrate the language and methods for teaching the child. After initial demonstrations, I phase out as parents take the lead more and more. Some couples are both present the whole day, some switch in and out.
Do we have to book 3 days?
3 days of In-home potty training is not required to receive help in person, though it is the recommended duration so we can work through as much as possible together.
Any amount of days can be arranged, and the package cost will be prorated.
are there any guarantees?
Unfortunately, due to the unreliability of human learning, I can’t guarantee this service will 100% work for you.
I try my best to set realistic expectations as we move through the process, and set goals that I know we can achieve. 70% of families see potty training completion within our in person days together, 97% see it within our month of additional remote support.
Potty train confidently, knowing an expert is in your corner (literally).
