CIC will be discussed with caretakers & patients during their appointment and they will be given the instruction sheet to take home. They will not have a follow-up appointment scheduled. Research team will call them to check if the patient is able to perform CIC independently. If they can, a visit will be scheduled for them to demonstrate this in clinic.
CIC will be discussed with caretakers & patients during their appointment and they will be given the instruction sheet to take home. Child will receive a prize (~$5-20 in value) for every CIC step completed. They will follow-up in clinic in 3 months (or earlier) to demonstrate their CIC ability. If they can demonstrate this ability, they will receive a large prize (~$30-50 in value)
