  Case: Doesn't Respond to Name
One of my students does not respond when her name is called. I have to tap the student in order to get her attention. I discussed my observation with the parent and asked if they had noticed this and what could be the cause of it? They replied that nothing is wrong with the child, I just must not be saying it loud enough or perhaps there is too much going on around the student. However, even when I am only a foot behind the student saying her name, she still does not seem to hear me. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have a conversation with the student to gain some insight into what is going on, and see what factors could play into the situation. I would also look for non-verbal methods of getting the students attention, such as approaching the student from the front and tapping on their desk lightly if they do not respond to their name. I would work with the student to develop the signal, so that it is something that they are comfortable with.

Comments: I think it is important to consider all factors that could be causing this issue rather than assuming something is wrong with the student. The classroom can definitely be a distracting place so it is important to consider this as a factor.
