[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 6000, member: 23"] Kudos to the sd. Highly unusual for most to want to intervene early. Fingers crossed that Mom will change her mind. This problem seems to often co-exist with neurological problems we see on the board. (Another form of a developmental delay in my opinion.) If Mom doesn't want the evaluation, she may not find the school district willing to go "above and beyond" so to speak. Things like leaving an extra changing or two of clothing in the nurse's office, scheduled potty breaks, frequent checking by the teacher are possibilities, controlling diet during lunch. She may want to have a little meeting with-the school nurse, teacher, and/or school counselor to see what they can work out. If a medical problem hasn't be ruled out, it would be the first step. A developmental pediatrician may be her best bet. If there's not a medical problem per se, Mom might want to consult with a pediatric occupational therapist or physical therapist to see if perhaps toning muscles and other exercises might help develop muscles or nerve endings that could help resolve the problem rather than wait until she grows out of it. (Growing out of it sometimes doesn't happen until early teen years. I don't know if an Occupational Therapist (OT) or PT could help, but if you've been in a been there done that situation, the cost would be well worth a consult, in my humble opinion. [/QUOTE]
