More often than not, the sound seems very similar to what the word or phrase might be. How can I encourage this students to participate and stay actively engaged since he seems to understand the materials being presented. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would suggest allowing the student to respond to questions with hand signals. He could give the teacher a thumbs up or down to indicate his understanding of the content, or other signals that are agreed upon ahead of time between the teacher and student. If he does not already, he should have an IEP or behavioral plan in place that suggests strategies to implement with the student.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree with the non-verbal communication method of using thumbs up and down in class.
