A water-prompting procedure for the treatment of urinary incontinence.
Based on clinical observations of a naturally occurring phenomenon, a water-prompting procedure was used to facilitate toilet training with a 9-year-old boy with profound mental retardation. Other frequently used toilet-training procedures were either ineffective or were associated with increased self-injury. The water-prompting treatment package may increase continence by eliciting and reinforcing urination under specific stimulus conditions.
