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 contact the parents, if possible, for confirmation. A conference would be requested, and and the school psychologist/counselor would be contacted as well. If what he's saying is true (and it probably is) then he needs this information to be in his file, so that he can receive all the accommodations and services he needs. As for the whispering, I'd give them a non-verbal cue to stop. (I have a pretty good "Cease!" look.)                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree with your response and would do the same thing.
