Hey Eileen -

Not sure if this will help - I am here in TN and both my boys are on

Medicaid (they are adopted). MY six year old has had his diapers provided

since he was three as I got a script from the doc saying that he is not able

to potty train, for what ever reason they put. He is getting Curity Sleep

Pants provided every month. I also purchase Tranquility ATN Youth (which

have a " cloth like " outside but no elastic/give) I use these when we will be

in the car for some time and I am not able to change his diaper as often as

I like to. I have also stuck some Depends like pads into his diaper too to

help with leak control.

Hope that helps some!

Have you considered cloth? My older son leaked through every diaper out

there. I finally at a friend's suggestion tried Fuzzi Bunz and it

worked! www.juliestuff.com is the cheapest place I've found fuzzi bunz. I

" know " this woman from a email list several years ago, but I still shopped

around and her prices are the best. I stuffed two toddler sized prefolds

into the pocket and it made for a really bulky diaper, but it pulled the

wetness away from the skin and held everything all night long! The largest

size diaper is for 35+ lbs. My son was fitting in it when he wore size

6's. It might be worth a try. Washing cloth is super easy, especially if

you are just using it at night when it's urine and not BMs.

As for potty training I don't have any advice. Both my children just

trained when they were ready and did it practically overnight. I wish I

could take credit for doing something!

Hi!

I don't know if this would be of any help to you, but I have had a lot of

success with it myself. I spoke to my son's pediatrician about potty training

(mainly night time problems) and she recommended the Potty Pager. It vibrates

when they start to leak. It either helps them to learn to wake up to go or to

hold it until the morning (which is the case for my son). We have been dry at

night for over a year. The pediatrician emphasized how some children sleep to

heavily at night and simply need some help to train their brains. My son would

not wake up at night and would just sleep in the wetness. I don't see why you

couldn't use it during the day as well.

Sherry N. ('s mom) has Dyspraxia - has been through speech,

occupational therapy, and vision therapy. He also has ADHD.

Hi,

I'm new to the group and signed up to learn more for my 4 1/2 yo son.

He was always a big guy and in size 6 around 2 1/2, but his body changed and

they fit until we switched to training pants. He is finally potty trained for

about 3 months. The only diapers fit well for him were the better Pampers.

Hopefully that will work for your son as well, thought there are larger sizes

for training pants, and even Good Nites for school-aged kids who have accidents

at night.

hello, well my son is 3 and partially potty trained.

We buy the night time trainers because they go ot by size but weight and

go as high as 120lbs, for older kids that still wet the bed. My

friend told me to try this. put on some cute undies with characters he

likes and then take him to the potty every 1/2 hour. and about 20

minutes after he eats keep asking if he has to potty. my son still may

potty on himself at times but now he tells us after because the feel is

terrible in ther underwear. You may go thru a few pair of undies but

it may be worth the effort. Next I read that it is genetic. My

husband did not speak at all until he was 4. Then with the help of

family and a speech therapist he did speak. back then they did not

know what to call it. Now we do and started our son early after he

loss some of the developing speech and began to babble. Hope this

helps.

Some park districts offer Potty Boot camps or Potty training camp this month

only ie just before fall classes starts.

Why can't you try that. Just my 2 cents.

" Is Apraxia genetic? "

Good question! The answer is ... sometimes. In some families, there is

a history of apraxia and/or very delayed or disordered speech

development and/or other neurological conditions, so, it would make

sense that in those families, it is genetic.

Eileen,

It seems that our apraxic kids have an even harder time potty training

than their typical peers, and so they train a little later than

normal. But even " typical " kids are going longer and longer in

diapers these days - 3 year olds in diapers are not that our of the

ordinary anymore. My apraxic daughter trained at about 3.5, very

shortly after going GFCF. Once she went GFCF and decided she didn't

want to wear diapers anymore, it only took 3 days to get really good

at keeping her undies dry. My 26-month-old " typical " daughter shows

much more interest in training, and seems to have better coordination

for it too. I understand that having 2 in diapers is a pain (I did it

for almost 2 years), but trying to push a child who's not ready is

going to be a big pain too.

Hi-Eileen,

Hi have been working on potty training my 3years old son these last

couple of months but know since preschool will start next week I

have been working harder with him . He seems to like the reward

basket I have put under the sink every time he goes he gets to pick

award:m & m's,sucker,stickers,cars and it has helped alot so just this

week he has caught on and has'nt had any acciendts in his big boy

undies during the day but at night I still put pull ups on him and

he keeps leaking through them too so I 'am going to try putting

plastic underwear over them to see if that will help absorb the

pee .I remember getting them for my other son old when he was

pottytraining . I got them at walmarts so you may want to try them

I know this potty training is hard when they are not ready so maybe

also he just is'nt ready too.

Merci

I am happy to say I 2nd that...we've been using cloth diapers-

Fuzzibunz and other brands for over a year and love them. And yes

they are so easy to care for! As far as potty learning we aren't

there yet but my son is just a new 3 yr old.

Also our local regional center has started to pay for disposable

diapers made by curity. I plan to use them when he goes to

preschool. My son is tiny barely in a sz 4 diaper. Another mom I

know said her son used depends for a brief time as well as pull ups

too.

good luck.

Eileen,

It seems that our apraxic kids have an even harder time potty training

than their typical peers, and so they train a little later than

normal. But even " typical " kids are going longer and longer in

diapers these days - 3 year olds in diapers are not that our of the

ordinary anymore. My apraxic daughter trained at about 3.5, very

shortly after going GFCF. Once she went GFCF and decided she didn't

want to wear diapers anymore, it only took 3 days to get really good

at keeping her undies dry. My 26-month-old " typical " daughter shows

much more interest in training, and seems to have better coordination

for it too. I understand that having 2 in diapers is a pain (I did it

for almost 2 years), but trying to push a child who's not ready is

going to be a big pain too.

Hi-Eileen,

Hi have been working on potty training my 3years old son these last

couple of months but know since preschool will start next week I

have been working harder with him . He seems to like the reward

basket I have put under the sink every time he goes he gets to pick

award:m & m's,sucker,stickers,cars and it has helped alot so just this

week he has caught on and has'nt had any acciendts in his big boy

undies during the day but at night I still put pull ups on him and

he keeps leaking through them too so I 'am going to try putting

plastic underwear over them to see if that will help absorb the

pee .I remember getting them for my other son old when he was

pottytraining . I got them at walmarts so you may want to try them

I know this potty training is hard when they are not ready so maybe

also he just is'nt ready too.

Merci

I am happy to say I 2nd that...we've been using cloth diapers-

Fuzzibunz and other brands for over a year and love them. And yes

they are so easy to care for! As far as potty learning we aren't

there yet but my son is just a new 3 yr old.

Also our local regional center has started to pay for disposable

diapers made by curity. I plan to use them when he goes to

preschool. My son is tiny barely in a sz 4 diaper. Another mom I

know said her son used depends for a brief time as well as pull ups

too.

good luck.

Chec out Dr yasko's site ..search apraxia.. they is a pre

disposition in kids with certain genetic mutations.

She has a seperate segment on apraxia.
