I have called home several times, he has seen the counselor, he has a BIP, but he still will not take a test seriously. He bubbles in answers or circles them and then lays his head down. No amount of prodding, bribing, encouragement has helped yet. What haven't I tried that might help? How do I motivate him? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Hi, I think you could try to assess him in a different format to see which one fits him the best. I think that he may feel more interested if there was some short answer questions or if part of the test could be answered orally. I was going to suggest a BIP at first but I see your have tried it already. Good luck!
