  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!)
The student may have more distractions in a busy classroom setting as opposed to a more controlled informal setting such as home. There are some ways that you may help the student. For example, first get the student's attention using nonverbal cues. This may be a wave or a tap or a thumbs up. Then say the student's name. I would also check to make sure you are not mispronouncing her name or that if there are student's with the same name in the class, that she may think you are addressing them. You may also want to ask the student if there is something else she prefers to be called.
