Season 3 is officially here, and we thought we would start with a bang. One of our most requested topics has been to chat about potty training…So we invited Amara Castro (BCBA) to chat with us all about potty training, or as she likes to call it “potty learning.” Everyone is learning as we go, and there are so many skills involved in potty training. Amara shares her insight on signs to look for, and all the tips and tricks for a successful potty learning experience.
