Toilet Training - Blue Wave v Flamingo - Any views?

Hello
We are about to start considering toilet training for my 3 year old son (CP, quad, dystonic athetosis).
I am a little apprehensive to say the least, particularly because he has no speech.
Our OT has suggested both the Blue Wave and Flamingo toilet chairs.
I have absolutely no experience of either and so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

It takes a lot of work but there is no reason why most children with c.p cannot be toilet trained. They might nevertheless choose to go back to nappies in adulthood or an indwelling catheter. It will be their choice but at least you will have given them a choice.
