Advocating an Android App for Toilet Training in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Abstract

Learning occurs through diverse methods, and one such method involves utilizing an Android application to teach vital daily living skills to children with special needs, aiding them in achieving independence in their routines. This study concentrates on instructing toileting skills to children with autism using a mobile application that delivers audio and visual guidance in a step-by-step manner. Employing a pre and posttest control group design, the study found a significant difference in toileting skill attainment between the experimental and control groups. This indicates that the Android application is more effective in teaching toileting skills compared to the traditional method of using picture flashcards.
