My 5 yr old is in headstart and starts kindergarten in the fall. He will use the bathroom at school and wear underwear, but at home he has to be in pull ups. He will sit in his own wet/dirty underwear or pull up and it doesn't bother him. He will say no I don't have to go and forcing him does more harm then good. I just really want to be out of this stage. I will tell you rewards, games, punishment don't work. Also, he is hfa, spd, adhd combo, and pica.
My daughter was very late to potty train. She was almost 5 when she finally got the hang of it. I always asked her doctors what to do and they would always say the same thing...."She will when she is ready". Finally, one day, she brought a pair of her little panties I had bought her and handed them to me and said "I've decided", and that was it. She never had to wear diapers or pull ups ever again. My advice would be, be as patient as you can. Sorry I don't have any more advice than that.
I read on here a few days ago there is a phone/tablet app called"Daniel Tiger stop and go potty", there were good reports on here for it, so I suggested it to my son for my grandbaby. Good luck.

My son is 7 and he's still not potty trained. However. He signals me when his diaper is full and hands me a new one. If I let him roam around the house without a diaper he will not pee on the floor. He will hold it....so this means he's definitely ready. I'm working on potty training him this month with his aba therapist.
