Hello Everyone
Has anyone got any ideas for a parent I am working with. She has a 7 year old son who has global develomental delay who will only open his bowels when wearing a pad. He uses the toilet to pass urine. The parent said 'I have tried so many things, I am desperate for some ideas as he goes into the Juniors next year'
Many thanks for any suggestions.

Hi @InformationSupportWorker. I'm not sure if i can help, but it might be useful looking into something like occupational therapy? I'm unsure if I'm honest, but OTs may have some more ideas. Let us know how you get on,
Heather
