[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 574318, member: 15793"] She still can't wash her own hair. Has zip interest in learning either. Ditto brushing, but her hair mostly just falls into place every day (lucky her!). Her case worker didn't even realize she doesn't wash or brush her own hair or has such shower issues as Storm doesn't really have much BO at all (case worker and I had a long talk this evening about Storm's functioning and frustrations at home and school). Next time she melts down at school and I get an email I'm to call a case conference to A) make certain all her teachers are aware of her IEP, B), update her BIP and make it better, and C) push AGAIN for a 1-on-1 the school really doesn't want to pay for. The good thing is Storm does stay hygienic. She uses wet wipes in the bathroom (so thankful she finally wipes herself!), and will use deodorant as long as I put it with her clothes in the morning. Washes her hands after using the bathroom. With soap! Brushing teeth... not so much. Every now and then I can get her to use that Crest Pro-Health rinse with fluoride and so far only two cavities. She's been lucky - and I think the fact that she drinks so much water helps. ETA: Since it seems others here also use designation "Kiddo" I decided to use her grandmother's nickname for her - "Storm". Fitting. :) [/QUOTE]
