See Me Go Potty - Now with both Pee pee and Poo poo!

We hope this helps!

The unique, distinctively useful, and exceptionally fun potty trainer.

How it works

1. Use a simple menu to create a cartoon avatar that physically resembles your
child/children.

2. Let your child repeatedly play the Go Potty narrative showing him/herself
successfully complete the whole process of using the potty step by step.

3. Show your child the Accident Scene narrative to teach what an “accident”
is.

You’ll be hearing “I did it!” in no time.

Important features

Fifteen actionable potty training tips included: The app includes concrete
advice about preparation, behavioral reinforcement, behavioral shaping, when
to continue vs. take a break, and more.

Teaching with positive reinforcement and fun: The Go Potty scene ends with
your child’s avatar happily celebrating a successful “I did it!” potty
experience. In contrast, the Accident Scene ends with your child’s avatar
being disappointed by the “uh-oh”.

Personalization and connection to kinesthetic learning: Children immediately
joyfully recognize their cartoon selves, closing the gap between watching
someone else do something and visualizing oneself doing something. The
supplemental motor area (SMA) of the brain is responsible for learning and
planning motor behaviors (actions). Quite amazingly, neuroscientists have
shown that imagining oneself doing something involves similar activity
patterns in the SMA as actually doing it.

Visual learning is powerful: This app is a great teaching tool for typically
developing children as well as children with developmental delays and
communication disabilities. The layout is intentionally simple and free of
distractions. Your child’s attention will be focused on him/herself using the
potty. Parents who have a “neuro-diverse” family know that the teaching
techniques we rely on to teach our children with developmental delays also
work like a charm with our typical kids. Many kids on the autism spectrum, in
particular, are very visual learners, but the power of visual learning is
certainly not restricted to them.

Auditory learning and read(/write) learning via simple narrative
accompaniment: The animations are accompanied by a simple step-by-step script
that your child can readily adopt and transfer to real life. Most children of
potty training age cannot read yet; they will simply hear and then mimic the
verbal labels for each step. However, many children on the autism spectrum,
who are relatively late to potty train, may be able to recognize sight words
surprisingly early. A 3–5 year-old child may be able to “read along”, further
reinforcing the behavioral sequence.

Background

The See Me Go Potty app came about based on the developers’ experience potty
training their three children and is grounded in Ann’s (mom’s) expertise in
neuroscience (she holds a PhD in the neurobiology of learning and memory from
UC Irvine). They overcame potty training difficulties with a child who has a
communication/autism spectrum disorder by creating a step-by-step animated
slide show narrative of her going to the bathroom. She readily transferred the
process and the vocabulary to real-life toileting and was finally fully and
successfully potty trained within a few weeks. When the Smiths’ youngest
(typically developing) daughter was ready to potty train, they were preparing
to adapt the narrative to look like her, and thought how nice it would have
been to have done this for their eldest (typically developing) son, who had
been outright defiant to the process. Moreover, they realized how all potty
training parents and preschool teachers could appreciate this teaching tool
and commenced development of this app.
