Case: Taking Advantage of Medical Needs
In my class, I have a student that is diabetic. The student is often required to drink lots of water and therefore needs to use the restroom frequently. It has become an issue though because the student uses this as a way to avoid work. The student will say that he needs to use the restroom when in reality he does not and is trying to waste time. The other day the student accumulated a total of 25 minutes in the restroom during a 60-minuet reading block. Any suggestions on how to respect the student's medical needs while still making sure he is not lying to get out of doing his work?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think the first thing that should happen is the teacher should review the 504 or IEP that lists the students medical needs and review the policies that surround that specific student's needs for their diabetes. After reviewing the policies, the teacher can then come up with a system with the student where they are able to use the bathroom at the end of the class rather than at the beginning so they are still getting their work done and are present for the instructional time. You can set benchmarks of work for them to know they would be able to go to the bathroom based on the amount of work they complete. |

Comments: This is a good solution because it doesn’t interfere with class time and still following the needs of the students 504 or IEP |

Comments: This is a great way for the student to learn that they cannot abuse the bathroom privileges. The work needs to get done and if the student works hard and pays attention, they will be able to use the restroom when they actually need to use it. |
