  Case: Walking out of class
In my internship classroom, I have a student who continuously leaves class every chance he gets. We have tried weighted blankets, special chairs, and preferential seating. The student claims that he is always tired and he needs a nap. What do you suggest we implement to give him incentive to stay in the classroom?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It is interesting to me that the student states that they are tired, but insists on trying to leave the class. Maybe the student is resisting sleep and trying to re-energize by getting up and moving around. Maybe the student needs to have breaks to get up and stretch. If this doesn't work, further investigation of his routine at home should be looked into. Present this issue with the parents or caregivers so that they are aware and can make adjustments at home.

Comments: This solution tries to find the root of the issue, as it seems they may well be a very reasonable answer to why this student is feeling tired in class. In absence of such a problem at home, contacting the child's parents seems the most appropriate answer.

Comments: I think this deserves a home investigation. I think the student should also have the option to stand near his desk or something to prevent him from falling asleep. Ask him what he thinks he needs within the classroom, because he can't keep leaving.

Comments: I think speaking to the parents/ caregivers is a great idea. Maybe that student is not getting enough sleep on weeknights or maybe there is an underlying medical issue.

Comments: I think this solution is most helpful. If the student states they are tired, getting the class moving a little bit can re-energize them. I think it's very important to make sure the class is actively engaged. Investigating into his home life can help as well, maybe the student is not getting enough sleep due to an inadequate routine at home. Talking to the parents can help tremendously.
