I have a Question:

My daughter is autistic. Last year she was 5 and in kindergarten. She wore a pullup over underwear incase she had a bowel movement accident . They did not charge me also I'm pretty sure like someone else commented is illegal .
Autism teacher here. Is it a public school? Typically if they are kinder age that’s still developmentally appropriate but after kindergarten they just need a doctors note and parent signature if the child cannot change themselves
Can an IEP meeting be called to add her toileting needs to her IEP?
@Melanie I’m sorry let me rephrase my post .. he is in preschool. Family owned.
@DanielleMeghan he has a IEP.. I’m going to see if it’s on his IEP. I think it is.
@Jasmine that’s a little more challenging. If it’s a private preschool not funded by the public school system they can do that. However I personally do not agree with it as it’s developmentally appropriate for a child not to be fully potty trained at that age. If your child has an IEP; try to get services from the state! There are preschool programs that can follow their individualized plans!
@Melanie thank you. I will look into that.
@Melanie ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@Jasmine I spent 13 years teaching in Virginia and have only within the last year moved back to Pennsylvania but please reach out if I can help you in any way!
@Melanie thank you so much ❤️🥰
The center I work at for preschool charges everyone who is not potty trained the toddler rate and a 13 dollar fee because we provide the diapers and wipes. If you are providing the diapers and wipes I don’t see why they would be charging extra.
@Mariah Snyder I’m thinking because it’s a preschool
@Mariah Snyder I’m going to enroll him into kindergarten
I'm pretty sure that's illegal. This is a medical need.
