When reading, Jacob continuously blinks and moves his head, skips lines, omits or transposes words, and loses his place often, even when using a place marker. He sits at the teacher's computer so he can follow along during PowerPoint presentations. Are there other ways to address this student's need? How? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) If this student is OHI due to his ADHD diagnosis, it may be that he needs to be re-evaluated by his doctor if he takes medication. A parent conference should be setup, data should be presented to show that the student's OHI is impacting his learning and his current accommodations and modifications are no longer enough for academic success. Parents may not realize this is the case, and set up an appointment with Jacob's doctor to discuss his medication. In a case like this one, it is always helpful to bring data that backs up your case.
