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!) Maybe you can invite the mom in the classroom and let her see the students behavior and struggles in the classroom too.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Rated On: October 10, 2019 1:37 pm Rated By: pagyDa                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: The student might act differently because his parent is around.
