Need help with potty training my son/w DS - Down Syndrome Message Board

I have a 9 year old son with DS and i am having a very hard time potty training him. I have been trying every few months ( the advice of a pediatric urologist ) for the past 5 years. Nothing is working! I feel he is old enough to do it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried having him pee in a can or putting bubbles into the toilet? Good luck.

I read in sesame street mag that a Mom potty trained her son by putting a ice cubes colored with food coloring into the toilet for her son to have something fun to aim at.

try taking him every half hour or hour and then he should get into the routine, that is how i finally got my son trained. good luck, it will happen...
