  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 possibly ask the student if there is another name that they go by or a nickname. For example, I have a friend whose real name is Morgan but she goes by her middle name which is Paige. If I were to call out "Morgan", she will not respond to me because that is not what she formally goes by. The student may also have a nickname that you are not aware of that she would like to go by instead. I hope that this is helpful!

Comments: I do not think this is useful because the case study does not tell us if the student hears everything else. Is it selective hearing, or an impairment. Could it be ADHD? We need more information before we can assess this issue.

Comments: This is another possible reason the student may not respond which I had not thought of yet. Very helpful solution.
