What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
b) Yes, of course.

c) Since we have one large bathroom that is shared with the next room so it is used for all kids and I can not ask boys to stay out of the bathroom for Aida to use the bathroom because some of them might lose the control of their bladder/bowel and it leads to toileting accident.

d) I would send Aida to the toilet with some girls.

Here is my answers, please check if it is correct.

Yes, you're on the right track

In my opinion, you need to think about the bathroom and it's location. At times when Aida may need to go other children will need to go as well. There is only one bathroom for both rooms and children may not be able to hold themselves while they wait for Aida to go. The toilet has been designed to accommodate all the children and their toileting needs... In saying this if Aida is uncomfortable whenever she needs to go you could go with her to ensure her that she feels comfortable. Maybe you could even encourage Aida to select a toilet to use at the end so it's a little more private. You could also ensure that the boys are only in there to go to the toilet and talk to the group as a whole about using the toilet appropriately... Overall you need to build Aida confidence and self esteem because it's practically impossible to make boys wait until she has finished...

Hope this helps,
