Free Nappies for children with autism

You can ask your GP, school or any other professional involved with your child to refer you to the continence nurse. 

Hi, how would this work if you don’t have a health visitor, my little girl got her diagnosed last November and she is still in nappies but the size 7 pampers are getting a little tight on her and I don’t know which ones to go for next. 

Hi amandadarkspell

you need to speak to your health visitor for a referral to the incontinence service 

my sons 7 and in pull ups he was diagnosed thursday am i entitled? 

Hi

I have  just been awarded free pull up's for my twin girls. I had to go through my HV, he advised me that all HV's have to do this assesment where required now, as I  believe it used to have to be carried out by a local nurse.

Hope this helps, good luck

Thank you very much for your help, most appreciated

Hi Plumpy,

My son had the same problem until he was nearly six.  We went back to the GP and asked for a referral to the incontinence service with a view to getting advise about how to toilet train him as nothing had worked so far. Our HV was unhelpful too.

A lovely nurse came out and we discussed what was going on.  If I remember correctly if a child is still in nappies once they are four then they are free.  We ended up having a monthly deliveries of pyjama pants (most absorbant and leak free) which continued until he was toilet trained.

Hope that helps.
