StepUp Program 

Make traveling with extra clothes a thing of the past.

Sleepovers and dry clothes. If that combination sounds unlikely for your child, our StepUp Program might be right for him or her.

Bedwetting, daytime wetting, and other accidents are not uncommon. However, they are often preventable. During our StepUp Program, we’ll evaluate what’s causing this problem for your child. Then we’ll put together a customized program to help him step out with confidence.

StepUp can help children with these conditions:

• Bedwetting beyond 6 years old
• Urination accidents, such as damp underwear, or urgent urination during the day
• Frequent infections of the urinary tract
• Painful or irregular bowel movements

Over 90 percent of the children who join the StepUp Program enjoy success from either:

• Taking medication
• Learning to understand their body’s signals to urinate (using a technique called “biofeedback”)
• Making changes to the way they react to the body’s signals to urinate (a process called “behavior modification”)
