Incontinence Solutions for Special Needs Kids

By Laurie L. Dove

Pages:  1  2  3  

This may seem like a simple act, but just five years ago, Jason couldn't imagine sleeping at a house other than his own. His life was marked by social isolation – not because Jason has Sensory Integration Dysfunction and Attention Deficit Disorder – but because he wet the bed each night.

"He is quite bright, but his particular disorder affects his center of gravity and I suspect that meant he did not awaken to urinate during the night," recalls Kay, Jason's mother. "He only was incontinent at night. He has been fully toilet trained during the day since he was 3."

His parents tried everything to help Jason. "We tried the reward system. No success. We had him urinate just prior to going to sleep. We limited his liquids at night and woke him at midnight to use the restroom. Nothing worked," says Kay. "He wanted to be dry at night. He wanted to start having sleepovers with friends, but he wouldn't agree to it until he didn't have this issue anymore."

Then, Jason's parents hit upon a solution: absorbent undergarments. After wearing them for just a few nights – and changing them himself each morning – his outlook improved. Within weeks, he was inviting friends over to spend the night, play video games and not worry about wetting at night.

"He's never looked back since."
