[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your DC is not ready for this trip. It’s not reasonable or even viable for a host family or a chaperone to remind him to take medicine. If he can’t, via an alarm, then he’s not ready for this. [/quote] OP here - interesting, would you say the same thing about a child with an EpiPen or diabetes? [/quote] I didn’t write what you are responding to, and I don’t think that taking medication or needing reminders to do so are indications that your child isn’t ready. But your question is bizarre. Diabetes is a life threatening condition that requires very close monitoring. Very few kids with T1D are ready for overnights without a trained adult at 11. It is bizarre how often posters here have this weird idea that kids with more significant disabilities than their child’s somehow don’t experience hardship.[/quote]
