Case: Recommending student for evaluation
I interned in a 2nd grade classroom at a charter school. One student was still having substantial difficulty in learning his letter sounds and had not begun to read like his peers. It was getting to the point that he avoided doing his work, due to his struggles and feeling different than his friends. The teacher and I noticed that he also begun rocking back and forth a bit in his chair in addition to some other behaviors. The teacher had a conference with the mother and recommended that the student undergo an evaluation for a possible disability. The mother refused. And she continues to refuse each time an issue is raised. The teacher now keeps detailed notes of the areas and concepts that are difficult for him, his grades and behavior issues. What else can she do to help get this student the care/support he may need if the mother refuses to have him evaluated?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Your CT is doing the smart thing by documenting everything. I would have my CT go to guidance and talk to them about the student. It is always smart for teachers to refer students to guidance because they can work with the students and try to figure what they need and if they really have a disability. They are also able to refer to different doctors or recommend different kinds of help. |

Comments: OF two solutions available, I think the first is the better solution, however, I don't think that this one is bad. Documenting the behavior is important, but I don't think that referring doctors to the student is helpful, and since the mother is unwilling to accept the idea, it would be difficult to refer doctors to her. |
