[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are middle schoolers, but when they went to a preschool that required the children to be toilet trained, we were told that 3 accidents in a semester and the child would be removed from the program.  They did occasionally stretch to four if there were extenuating circumstances, but it was written into the contract that we signed.  Daycares and preschools should just write this into the contracts and then you don't have to deal with people like the unreasonable dad.

And the appropriate response is that if his son is having such terrible accidents, the family should purchase less expensive underwear and they should work on improving the child's toilet training.[/quote]

Said the parent of two neurotypical children, who clearly never dealt with a child with special needs. Some programs have rules on toilet training and those immediately exclude any child with special needs. Kid has ASD? ADHD? Anxiety? Sensory issues? Apparently these kids don’t deserve a place in school with your typically developing child. Newsflash - some kids train late because of developmental challenges or disabilities that you can’t see. Rigid one size fits all rules do not serve all children and only exclude those that are the ones who need more help and support.

As a mom who toilet trained my eldest at 2.5 and am struggling with a 3 year old who refuses to train because of sensory issues, I hate parents like you. NeverMind that we have been to many specialists and therapists and our pediatrician says not to train until we are ready - meanies like you just want to blame, blame, blame. [/quote]

Yep.  And I hate parents like you.  You have children with special needs and you need to find programs that serve your children and their needs.  Putting your child who needs the extra time and attention into a regular program doesn't serve anyone well.  The program does not provide enough providers to provide that much attention to the special needs child.  So you end up with children who need more attention who are not getting that attention.  And when the providers provide more attention to those children, they amount of time they spend on the rest of the community is even less.  So, the individual doesn't get as much attention as they need and the remainder get even less attention that they should have.

You need to look for programs that have a lower student:teacher ratio and that can provide extra care to fewer children.  Yes, those programs have to be more expensive because the facility is getting less income from volume, so the cost per student will go up.

But parents who have special needs children who try to put them in regular programs and then complain when the program is not all inclusive for all of their child's special needs and then complain about the costs are a much bigger problem for the facilities and the staff.  Parents like you want extra attention to your child at the expense of the rest of the class and you don't care that the other students get less attention to give your child more. [/quote]
