Hi, Our boys are 15, both with genetically confirmed Duchennes. When they were in grade school we requested each of them to have a para-professional assigned to them for assisting with school work and toileting. When they became unable to stand, we sent a plastic urinal in their backpacks. They got used to using a urinal and eventually, except for before bed toileting, use a urinal.

Hope this helps, Melissa
