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 should go through a physical assessment at their primary care doctor with concerns about her hearing. This problem should be discussed through a meeting with the parents, principal, and school nurse so proper opinions can be expressed on the school systems behalf and the parents can not be angered by being 'singled out' potentially.
