[quote=Anonymous]I'm trying to imagine what kind of school you work in that you would have to write a post on DCUM asking about this issue.  Have you no resources at your school?

I worked with a K student who was not potty trained but school personnel (spec ed teacher and paras) worked with him from the first day of school.  I believe his parents were also participating at home, it was a team effort.  He was autistic and also had weak muscle issues.

We also potty trained a 10 yr old who was much more seriously disabled whose parents were unable to train mostly due to having four other kids at home.  Not lazy, just overwhelmed.

I have also worked with 2nd and 3rd graders who wet their pants regularly or needed help wiping.  We did what we could to help them learn what they needed to learn.

These types of issues are common at all elementary schools, OP needs to find who they need to consult with and get them on board with this student's problem.  I've never heard of a school where the classroom teacher was expected to potty train students while teaching the curriculum and navigating the daily schedule.[/quote]
