FAS Toilet Training

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Diaries: Still Potty Training at Eight or Beyond

The child with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, FAS, deals with ongoing processing inconsistencies that can affect every aspect of daily living. Recently, parents of FAS children were comparing potty training notes on a yahoo group to which I belong. One parent was sharing her frustration about a six year old, who was occasionally wetting herself at school, and frequently wetting herself at home. Other parents chimed in with similar experiences with their FAS children, including a parent who shared that her eight year old was still having accidents. The whole conversation helped to jog my memory since my FAS daughter is currently 15. Meaning it has been a few years since we dealt with these issues. I remember that my daughter would wet her pants and then not say anything. Occasionally it would go completely unnoticed, so it worked for her. All the children in her pre-primary impaired classroom for three to five year olds were required to keep an extra set of clothes at school. Therefore, we can assume that potty training issues are quite common for this age group of learning impaired children.
