On the Vermont Continence Project, we often ask questions about how a team prompts a learner to go to the toilet: Do they take him/her by the hand? Tap them on the shoulder and point? Use this chart with your toilet-teaching team to find the right level of prompting to let your learner know your expectations. We generally recommend that adults use the least invasive prompt they can, as this tends to decrease push back from the toilet learner.
