See Me Go Potty
The unique, distinctively useful, and exceptionally fun potty trainer.

How it works
1. Use a simple menu to create a cartoon avatar that physically resembles your child/children.
2. Let your child repeatedly play the Go Potty narrative showing him/herself successfully complete the whole process of using the potty step by step.
3. Show your child the Accident Scene narrative to teach what an “accident” is.

You’ll be hearing “I did it!” in no time.

Important features
Fifteen actionable potty training tips included: The app includes concrete advice about preparation, behavioral reinforcement, behavioral shaping, when to continue vs. take a break, and more.
Teaching with positive reinforcement and fun: The Go Potty scene ends with your child’s avatar happily celebrating a successful “I did it!” potty experience. In contrast, the Accident Scene ends with your child’s avatar being disappointed by the “uh-oh”.
Personalization and connection to kinesthetic learning: Children immediately joyfully recognize their cartoon selves, closing the gap between watching someone else do something and visualizing oneself doing something. The supplemental motor area (SMA) of the brain is responsible for learning and planning motor behaviors (actions). Quite amazingly, neuroscientists have shown that imagining oneself doing something involves similar activity patterns in the SMA as actually doing it.
Visual learning is powerful: This app is a great teaching tool for typically developing children as well as children with developmental delays and communication disabilities. The layout is intentionally simple and free of distractions. Your child’s attention will be focused on him/herself using the potty. Parents who have a “neuro-diverse” family know that the teaching techniques we rely on to teach our children with developmental delays also work like a charm with our typical kids. Many kids on the autism spectrum, in particular, are very visual learners, but the power of visual learning is certainly not restricted to them.
Auditory learning and read(/write) learning via simple narrative accompaniment: The animations are accompanied by a simple step-by-step script that your child can readily adopt and transfer to real life. Most children of potty training age cannot read yet; they will simply hear and then mimic the verbal labels for each step. However, many children on the autism spectrum, who are relatively late to potty train, may be able to recognize sight words surprisingly early. A 3–5 year-old child may be able to “read along”, further reinforcing the behavioral sequence.

Background
The See Me Go Potty app came about based on the developers’ experience potty training their three children and is grounded in Ann’s (mom’s) expertise in neuroscience (she holds a PhD in the neurobiology of learning and memory from UC Irvine). They overcame potty training difficulties with a child who has a communication/autism spectrum disorder by creating a step-by-step animated slide show narrative of her going to the bathroom. She readily transferred the process and the vocabulary to real-life toileting and was finally fully and successfully potty trained within a few weeks. When the Smiths’ youngest (typically developing) daughter was ready to potty train, they were preparing to adapt the narrative to look like her, and thought how nice it would have been to have done this for their eldest (typically developing) son, who had been outright defiant to the process. Moreover, they realized how all potty training parents and preschool teachers could appreciate this teaching tool and commenced development of this app.

Pros and cons of See Me Go Potty English app for iPhone and iPad

See Me Go Potty English app good for

Bought it to help teach my 2 sons and now they dont go to the bathroom without using their avakid! Definitely a worthwhile app. Glad I bought it!
All in all, I have been delighted with this app. The kids love it and it has been very helpful toward getting potty trained.
I work with young special needs children. After several weeks of failed attempts at toilet training one of our students, I turned to the app store to look for a book on toilet training and found this app. Once we began using the app it took only a few days for my student to be toilet trained! Many thanks to the creators of "See Me Potty".
It took my son a few times to be willing to watch it, but within a week of the first viewing, he is successfully using the toilet, after years and every method imaginable of trying to train. This literally changed our lives, I cant recommend it enough.

Some bad moments

This is a rip-off. Its waste of time and money!! It is a joke!! Do not waste your money like I did
Those first two reviews are highly suspect. Who wrote them? The developers mom? Sister? Brother? Aunt? I would really like to know because this a piece of garbage. It offers two screens after you make your child to look like a south park character. Said crudely drawn character either pees in a potty or pees his pants. THAT IS IT! The tips offered are availbe for free EVERYWHERE ON THE NET! Look around at all the apps out there, they are all better then this one. No they are. Yes even that one. That one doesnt do anything? Yea but it wasnt 8 fricking dollars. So in conclusion this app=garbage and your kid doesnt need to see a horrifying likeness of themselves anyways.
The price is far too high for an app that not only has poor quality animations, but also glitch severely every time your childs avatar turns his head. The avatar repeatedly switching from male to female is not what I would call distraction free. The bottom line is that the makers of this app owe a refund to anyone who purchased this app based on the description they provided.
I was really excited to find this app and had high hopes for it. Unfortunately the app wouldnt allow me to create a new Avatar. Each time I tried and hit save it would just take me back to the menu page without saving. I tried to contact the company via their support page on their website, but whenever I hit submit nothing happened. Super disappointed and feeling like I wasted my money and time.
What a great idea. The animations are great demos and the potty training tips that came with the animations were the best advice weve seen. Bought it for my youngest ( 2 year old ) and all 3 of my kids had fun with it.
This is a great concept and I assumed that for this price, the avatar would be similar to that or the Wii characters. However, the characters are not realistic, the animation is choppy and after making an avatar for my little boy with red hair and green shirt, it showed a girl with black hair and pink shirt (albeit with green sleeves) when laterally positioned. This is a waste of money and should be a .99 app if anything. Gina the Giraffe is more realistic.
