Bear has been diagnosed with encopresis. He has no sensation at all of needing to poop and is on a heavy dose of miralax to prevent blockages. He has never been potty trained, is now 5 and has started to be able to feel when he needs to pee.
The program we want to put him in (2 days a week, 4 hours a day K-5 class) is saying that he needs to be fully potty trained. They are under the same public school charter as the program he is in now (two hour and a half long classes a week that change every 6 weeks or so). This is a confirmed medical condition based on either physical delay or possibly a disability (we're trying to get in to a specialist right now).
Can they do that? Isn't it illegal? I'm not even asking for an aide or other support, I'm going to act as his aide. There have been no problems at all with it in the program he is in now (once again, same charter).
I think I asked about this before, but it was before we had a diagnosis.
I need all the mama bear help I can get here. The set up of the program is literally exactly what Bear needs.
