Lighthouse Autism Center Shining Example: Calan
Meet Lighthouse Autism Center’s Child Spotlight of the Month: Calan.
When Calan enrolled at Lighthouse, his family expressed that one of their biggest challenges was toileting. It made it challenging to go on outings, be in the car for a long period of time, and the family expressed that this was a priority for them and Calan. Since enrolling at Lighthouse, Calan has made incredible progress with this skill!
Calan’s Progress at Lighthouse Autism Center
- Before coming to Lighthouse, Calan struggled with using the bathroom.
- Now, he is staying dry while at the center and in the community as well as uses the toilet five to eight times a day!
- At home Calan has used the toilet twice in one week independently and has stayed dry while in the car on the way to the center.

– McKinsey Jessup, Lighthouse Autism Center Program Manager
