Bathroom breaks are allowed as needed. If it isn't already in her IEP request that these items be put in because they are "appropriate" - Magic Word. Their goals should be to provide her with the Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) that she is entitled to and if allowing her a water bottle/pee breaks allows her to appropriately attend (or addresses any other issues since I don't know what she is struggling with)then it should be included. We are discussing possible gum chewing for our son because it could help with his sensory issues even though there is a no gum chewing policy. Check out the book - let me know if you want to talk, mama bear to mama bear.

If she's screwing with Emily's IEP on top of everything else then you have to elevate the conversation to her administration. I know you know this, but documentation (yours and Emily's) will be your best friend moving forward.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444959671753387135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15513876.post-35492909513351397712009-12-07T13:25:47.552-06:002009-12-07T13:25:47.552-06:00Oh sweet feking cripes.
