  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!)
Invite an observer to the classroom and together you talk with the parents again. Sometimes the parents are not aware of a problem because they have only that child. if you have the support of another school member, the parents may be willing for a further testing.

Comments: I think that this is an extreme reaction, however I do think that it’s a good idea to get the parents involved since the child is not responding to their own name.

Comments: I do not think it would be necessary to involve someone to observe at this point. There are many ways to attempt to fix this problem before finding someone to observe.

Comments: I don't think this is the best way to go about it because the parents have already insisted that the student is okay. Maybe trying non-verbal cues would work best for the student.
