Toilet Training for those with Down syndrome: Free Offer!
Last week I told you about a wonderful book , blog and website called Potty Training Boot Camp.
Dr. Suzanne Riffel, author of Potty Training Boot Camp is a great mom who started out looking for the “magical” toilet training method. However, when she found that there really wasn’t a “magical” method, she combined several methods into one to find something that truly worked for her 20 month old daughter.
Last week, I was led to Dr. Riffel’s blog when she wrote an article on toilet training for a child with Down syndrome or other intellectual or developmental delays.
Last night, Suzanne wrote me concerning her book and blog to thank me for highlighting her information on my site. Then, she told me about a problem she was having concerning feedback for children with Down syndrome.
Here is what Dr. Riffel told me….
“The Potty Boot Camp has been incredibly successful to date, yet I have very little feedback from parents of children with Down Syndrome.
I would love to give free copies (limit 20) of the eBook version to parents who are willing to use it and report back. I’m curious if the program can be followed to the letter - and if not, what modifications did parents need to make? Eventually, I’d like to add a chapter to the book about training children with Down Syndrome.”
This is YOUR opportunity to help your child with potty training and help develop a method that truly works! Suzanne Riffel is one of those “go getter’s” in the world who wants to make a difference for everyone that she can help! Reading her blog and website I really can see that she did some extensive research to find the perfect potty training method.
So, this is what we are going to do…..
The first 20 people who leave a comment on this post (be sure to include your email address) will be notified on how to get this offer! Be sure that you are serious about following through with this. You will need to be able to send feedback to the author on what worked and what didn’t. This is a great opportunity to not only help your child, but also thousands of other children with developmental disabilities!

From Parent Reviewers
Having potty trained both my children, I definitely acknowledge that it’s no easy feat. How I wished back then, I had educational DVDs like Pocket Snails Potty Adventure to help my youngins tackle the issue more smoothly.
Excerpt from Pocket Snails’ website:
Pocket Snails Potty Adventure, tackles the sometimes tricky subject of potty training from a whole new perspective! With its multi-faceted approach that uses a fun storyline, colorful animation, sing-along songs and the included Potty Steps Map that viewers can follow during the program - and then consult for themselves come potty time - this wonderful new DVD provides an engaging and effective potty training tool for youngsters everywhere.
The Pocket Snails Potty Adventure is a delightful full featured potty training program designed to encourage and motivate children to go diaperless and welcome the use of the potty. Created by Soaring Star for children of age 2 and up, this musical DVD will help parents make this trying transition period more relaxing and fun for their toddlers. Though my two children are way out of their potty training phase, they still thoroughly enjoyed the antics of Buttons, Dale and Gordon. As a mom, I like the fact that there are two characters in this potty adventure - Wendy, who is starting in her potty training adventure and Jake, another sibling who has already conquered it. But of course, our favourite as a family, were the sing along songs as well as the hilarious bloopers!
BUY IT : I’d highly recommend this DVD for parents who are about to start the potty training “adventure” with their toddlers. You can purchase this invaluable potty training tool here.

our 5 and 7 year old have not been diagnosed with down, however, I believe their prior neglect has assisted in their inability to be potty trained, help
I am sorry Stacy and Trisha, this free offer is over. I had posted that in red at the bottom of the article when it finished. However, you can purchase the book and still be part of the study group if you wish. The author generously donated 20 free copies of this book, and I know that you can understand that if she offered too many free copies she would be out of money! lol Thank you for responding and I look forward to hearing more from all the parents and hopefully we can get some real answers to help all families of children with Down syndrome
