She has to do an activity everyday where two cards with an animal on each are placed in front of her and she is told to identify whichever animal they tell her. About three times into this, she will completely lose focus and start to pretend as if she is really sleepy and wants to "make a choice" which is what they do in their free time in the classroom. They can choose an item to play with. What can be done about this? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) The teacher should try providing the student with more of a variety of different activities so that the student does not get bored. In addition, provide the student with more positive reinforcement in order to motivate her to do her work.
