Continence & Toileting Assessments
Respectful support for a deeply personal part of everyday life.
Individualised continence and toileting assessment for children, adolescents and adults, with occupational therapy and clinical nursing input available according to need.
Private, practical and centred on dignity.
Continence is about more than the toilet.
Bladder and bowel difficulties can affect independence, confidence, participation and family routines. We look beyond the symptom to understand the person’s body signals, skills, environment, communication, sensory needs and everyday supports.
Support shaped around you
How we can help
We begin with the person, not a checklist. Support is adapted to individual strengths, preferences, environments and goals.
Sensory & interoception
Exploring body awareness, sensory responses and the ability to recognise or respond to internal signals.
Movement & access
Considering mobility, transfers, balance, positioning, clothing and the physical bathroom environment.
Communication & cognition
Identifying communication, memory, sequencing or learning factors that may affect toileting participation.
Continence products
Reviewing functional needs and potential supports, products or assistive technology where appropriate.
Collaborative planning
Bringing together family, support workers and relevant professionals around clear, achievable recommendations.
Individual and practical
An assessment may be helpful for
- Daytime wetting, urinary leakage or night-time wetting
- Constipation, soiling or bowel management difficulties
- Delayed development of independent toileting skills
- Difficulty noticing or responding to body signals
- Anxiety, avoidance or sensory distress around toileting
- Challenges with wiping, clothing, hygiene or positioning
