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!) I would try and spend some one-on-one time with him and build a relationship with him so he feels comfortable sharing more on how he feels. For example, you could play a quick 5 minute game or activity that connects to the content you taught that day.
