Living with special needs.

-
My son Adrian woke up at 5:30 am this morning. He woke up because he had wet the bed. My son has Down Syndrome. He is 14 years old, Why does the school not want to toilet train children with special needs that are like Adrian. I mean really do not the schools care; maybe the staff at the school should go around wearing depends all day long. Than maybe they would know what it would feel like to have to have a paper product next to their sink all day. I think something should be done to get schools that  teach special education to first get this out of the way. It would make the student's day go better as well as the people that work with special needs students. I mean going to the bathroom is a daily living activity. It should be first priority, after all it is a dignity issue. Does one really know what is on the mind of a special needs person, that is unable to articulate what he/she might be thinking. Or does society still view special needs people as being less than human. True, society has came along way when dealing with the mentally challenge but a lot more can and must be done. For example doing what the typical person does on a daily bases making it to the toilet to relieve themselves, would be one such change. It would benefit everyone involved.
