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!) Encourage involvement in nonverbal activities by providing alternate means of communication, such as utilizing gestures, pointing to possibilities, or, if possible, giving a communication device. Maintaining engagement and drive requires acknowledging and validating his responses.
