Case: Mute Student
I have a student in my remediation class that REFUSES to speak. Several other teachers and I have discussed this student, and we have all referred her to the counselor. The counselor has spoken with her several times, but was unable to get anything out of her as well. We were also told that her brothers and sisters are the same way. When you ask her a question she will nod her head, or if it requires more than a yes or no she will mouth the answer to you. Her grades are struggling in several classes as a result. It is difficult for teachers to understand what she is comprehending if she does not communicate with anyone. How should we help this student?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have a parent conference to see if they can give insight on the behavior. Also, the parent's behavior would give you an idea as to if there is any abuse that is causing the student to not speak. |

| Comments: I think a parent conference is in order also. Considering her brothers and sisters are the same way, the root of the problem could be coming from home. |

| Comments: I would definitely be suspicious of abuse or neglect if the siblings are acting the same as well. A parent teacher conference sounds like a good idea. |
