ABOUT
The Vermont Continence Project provides positive, person-centered, science-driven toileting & continence supports for Vermont’s children and youth
The Vermont Continence Project:
- Consults on toileting and continence-related skills for Vermonters under 22 years old.
- Provides workshops, trainings, and consultations statewide to empower professionals who are supporting continence and toileting-related skills.
- Collects and shares resources about continence and toileting-related skills. Our resources may be for adults or children, and professionals or lay people.
- Collaborates with agencies, schools, and organizations. We partner to improve systems and supports for children and youth with incontinence and toileting challenges.
We work with the team of the referred child or youth to make a plan and carry it out. We do not work directly with the referred person, only with the adults supporting them.
