  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!)
It is extremely important that the teacher is keeping detailed notes on the student. One thing that she could do to help this student would be to, when the rest of the class is working on their given assignment independently, work one-on-one with this student. When working with this student, the teacher could try to adapt the different assignments for the student to ensure that he/she is achieving to the best of their ability.
