In my time working with them, he has had several vision/hearing tests done and has failed the vision screening every time. I have sent messages to the family several times and a paper from the people who do the vision/hearing screening saying that he may need to see the doctor about his vision. Unfortunately, they refuse to have their child checked to see if they may need glasses and I am afraid that it could be a major factor into why they have fallen behind so much. What should I do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would ask the parents to meet for a conference. I would stay as positive as possible but bring up the concerns you have for the student tying it back to their performance in class. A student should succeed in class and if they need help with something out of their control you should inform the parents.
