[QUOTE="jamrobmic, post: 6003, member: 1412"] Sheila-thank you, I think the things you've suggested would be very doable and would allow her to be put back in school in spite of her current problems. I think I've convinced my sister that Special Education doesn't necessarily equal unintelligent, so I think she's more accepting of the idea of testing now. I told her I would write the letter for her (and send it certified mail [img]:smile:[/img] ). I'll mention the possibility of a developmental pediatrician and Occupational Therapist (OT) or PT. I really don't think it's in my niece's best interest to wait until her teens to put her in school. PamelaJ-thanks for your good wishes. I hope you can find something that will help your son as well. Our kids are different enough without adding one more thing to keep them from fitting in with their peers. Esther-thanks so much for sharing your story. I didn't have to deal with encopresis with my son, but I know very well the feeling of it being us against the world due to our other problems with him. And you're right about kids being cruel. Right now my niece is a very happy and secure little girl, in spite of this problem, and I would hate to see her change due to being teased about this. I'll also talk to my sister about the charts, etc., and to the doctor about the medications you mentioned. Thanks again everyone for your help; I'll keep you posted as to our progress. [/QUOTE]
