Goodnites® Launches "Language of Bedwetting," the First Complete Language Designed to Help Autistic Children Express Needs, Wants and Feelings Around Bedwetting

Goodnites launched the Language of Bedwetting on World Autism Awareness Day 2026 as a free Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC) system.
The tool was developed in collaboration with the Autism Society of America, speech-language pathologists, advocates, parents, & communication experts.
It addresses a specific vocabulary gap for non-verbal or minimally speaking Autistic children regarding bedwetting experiences.
The resource includes over 100 new symbols covering pronouns, verbs, adjectives, nouns, & phrases designed to integrate with all AAC apps.
Statistics indicate bedwetting affects 1 in 6 children aged 3-12, with higher prevalence among Autistic children according to a 2015 Journal of Urology study.
The downloadable symbol set is available at Goodnites.com/LanguageOfBedwetting for use as a printable board or direct upload to AAC applications.
Target users include parents, caregivers, speech-language pathologists, special education teachers, ABA therapists, & pediatric occupational therapists.
Kimberly-Clark Vice President Dan Jackson emphasized that confidence at night involves being understood, not just staying dry.
Speech-language pathologist Sydney Lima stated the vocabulary provides an evidence-informed framework for supporting conversations at home, school, & therapy.
The initiative aligns with Goodnites' commitment to destigmatizing bedwetting & supporting the emotional well-being of Autistic children.
