Yes, I think so. For example, I have been in eating disorder treatment for three years at Renfrew. I also have Gastroporesis and one day when I was in IOP it was after lunch and we were going into art therapy. My GP was acting up pretty severely and I was so nauseous I couldn't even stand up. T came in the room and sat with me for a few minutes after everyone else went into art until my stomach calmed down a bit. She said I was allowed to drink tea during group (which is normally not allowed - tea is only available during a meal after you finish) because it helps my stomach.

That was one instance where T made exceptions for me, and there have been many other instances in the past where she has done that too. Different people have different needs.
