Positioning is a key component of potty training. The youngest children are often placed on small, stable floor-sitting potty chairs, as the standard in-home toilets are too high. Children with motor delays and abnormal tone will need the occupational therapy practitioner to evaluate positioning needs for the potty chair. Adaptations may need to be made to a commercially available chair, or a customized potty chair will be required to promote the correct sitting alignment. Often a tray is helpful to provide some arm stability, which can assist with sitting up, and is useful to place communication cards or devices on to indicate when "all done." At times, trays are helpful to restrict the child's access to touching the feces.
