  Case: Tourette's Student
A student within the classroom has Tourette's syndrome. He makes very loud audible noises frequently and constantly throughout class. He has testing accommodations in place for standardized testing so that he does not disturb other students. However, for classroom assessments he remains in class and tests with the rest of the students. How do I prevent this student from disturbing other students in the class during test time without calling attention to his disorder?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Talk with the student's special education case load manager to see if there can be testing accommodations with in the classroom similar to those for a standardized test. There is a possibility that teachers in the past has not addressed this with their case load manager therefore they are not aware that the child needs extra accommodations. It might also help to assess the student after school or during a separate time.

Comments: If I were in this situation I would do just this. I think it would also be a good opportunity for the other students to learn that all people are different and to learn how to blend with others. Some students may not even know what Tourette's syndrome is and it could be a good learning experience.

Comments: This is tough because it is not the students fault they cannot control the outburst. Extra accommodations may be needed for this student so that the rest of the class is able to learn without distractions. The special education head can be helpful is finding a solution.

Comments: Yes, I am sure this student would also appreciate testing at a separate time as I'm sure he doesn't want to call attention to himself either.
