  Case: Student scared to engage
I have a student in my internship who has Cerebral Palsy. I recently found out he was very atheltic before his numerous surgeries kept him wheelchair bound. Now, he just responds "That sucks" to everything. Every book, every assignment, and every opportunity results in "That sucks." How can I get him to be more engaged and enthusiatic?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
That is definitely an important discussion to have with his guidance counselor, school psychologist, and IEP team. One suggestion I have is maybe figuring out what he loved so much about sports and how you can engage that to give him hope that he can still enjoy things he enjoyed before. Like would coaching be something he would enjoy? Maybe he would be interested in sports counseling, reviewing school game tapes and giving his feedback.
