Hi everyone
My 5 year old son has Sensory Modulation Disorder and is unable to feel the necessary sensation that his bowels are full i.e. he goes rushing to the toilet at the very last minute (when he finally feels something i.e. he has already started to go) this ALWAYS results in him having faeces in his trousers and around his bottom. He also has tactile dysfunction and dislikes wiping his bottom, he is uncomfortable with the feeling of rubbing toilet paper on his bottom; he does attempt to wipe his bottom, but he is always in a mess and does it very badly.
He started school in January and the school are just leaving him to it, their approach is that he will just have to learn to do it.
Does anyone else have a similar problem and should the school be more helpful,your thoughts please?
