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 first thing I would do is to speak with the student directly. I would ask the student if she is having any kind of difficulty hearing when someone speaks to her. Based on her response I would further assess the situation and seek out additional help if needed. From here we would work to get appropriate resources to to help the student.
