  Case: ADHD
A student approaches you and tells you that he has ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder). He can't take the test within the time allotted, can't turn in assignments on time, or can't take notes, etc. He is requesting special consideration. Other students in the class overhear your conversation and start to whisper among themselves. What do you do as a teacher?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would ask the student for any medical records they have on their condition and also check for any forms your school requires. Any student can say they have medical needs that require certain special consideration but you need to have proof of their condition as well as proof or recommendations on the requested treatment/solution to the child's needs. I would also only address the students in the background snickering if it became a larger or ongoing issue with the students. At that time a discussion would be held covering bullying and name calling, etc.

Comments: I do not think this is a good solution. I would not go through the student for medical records and such, I would contact the student's parents and the administrators. I would not use this solution.

Comments: I would get proper documentation for the student and talk to the parents and administration. I would also remind others that it is inappropriate to laugh at classmates, as we must all accept each other.
