[quote=Anonymous]We don't have pee issues, we have poop issues. To make a long story short, DS is 7, has low tone and a history of constipation. We had to re-establish his ability to 'feel' the need to go to the bathroom. It's getting better but because of the low tone and lack of sensation, he often has 'accidents' in his pants or has 'tracks'. Once we addressed the constipation, we got him on a toilet schedule. We put him on the toilet about 20 minutes after he eats (it's also written into his IEP) and he has to sit there for 5 minutes or until he poops. Since we started doing this, things have gotten a lot better but he still has 'tracks'. How do you strengthen the sphincter muscle in a low tone kid? My advice is to read up on constipation and talk to your pediatrician. It may be there are some underlying issues. Best of luck.[/quote]
