Comments: It is not always possible to speak with parents, and if it is, it is not a guarantee that the child will take their medication each day from then on. There needs to be an alternative solution.

Comments: I feel that there needs to be more to this action besides just contacting the parents. I feel that to help the child and your class a separate and smaller activities of learning should be implemented.

Comments: I would not do this. There is more that needs to be done to help this situation. Parents sometimes are not involved or open to communication so this is not a fix all.
