I really need some advice please
I have a 10 year old with profound Developmental Verbal Dypraxia. His speech is very limited. His intelligence and comprehension is fine, even though he is extremely behind in areas at school. He is also a very anxious and shy child. He does goes to a special school.
The problem I am having is the fact that he is experiencing frequent nighttime and daytime accidents, which has been going on since he was a toddler. He often soil and wet his pants. He get very embarrassed and upset over it, he always tires to hide it. Whenever he soil himself, has has a habit of not changing unless me or one of his siblings say something.
I took him a number of specialists and could find nothing physically wrong with him, he isn't constipated. We believe it's might be a behavioral thing.
It got to the point where I feel like I need to put him back in either nappies or pull ups because it is causing us both too much distress. The amount of washing is overwhelming. I feel like I might need to go back to basics and re-potty train him.
I have no idea where to begin. He hasn't wear nappies since he was toddler. I don't know what product to buy. I am also concerned about how I am going to manage to get him to wear them. He wants to be as independent and as 'normal' as possible, so I know this is going to be hard on him. His 2 youngest siblings are still in nappies but one of them has just started potty training, so I don't know if that is going to make things harder for him. He also got 2 older brothers.
Any advice would be so helpful and appreciated because I'm struggling
