[Example of Accommodation] Set up a pre-arranged signal or use a small card the student can place on his or her desk when overwhelmed by an urge to leave the classroom to wash. Work with the student to try to reduce the number of bathroom requests, if they are frequent. You will need to determine the current number of times he or she asks to go to the bathroom in order to set a reasonable limit, gradually reducing the number of bathroom requests; e.g., it would be inappropriate to try to reduce the number of bathroom requests from 10 (current number) to 1 all at once.** (**Note: It would be most advantageous if the teacher, a school mental health professional such as the school psychologist or social worker, the parents, and the student collaborated to design and implement an intervention of this nature.) Allow the student to use hand sanitizer at his or her seat in lieu of constantly going to the bathroom. [Observed Behavior]
