Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to analyze the effects of priming in introducing toilet training to a 3-year-old boy with autism. Using an ABAB design, the number of wet and dry diapers was analyzed in relation to the initiation of toilet use. The data, which were collected throughout the child's day, showed an increase in initiation of toilet use and a decrease in wet diapers when priming was used.Keywords
