  Case: Student's medication
Mrs. Smith has a student that requires medication during the day for focus and to keep the student from becoming violent. She lives with her very young mother and they both live with a lady that is a foster parent to children. The problem is that the medication is so inconsistent, the student is failing many of her tasks. What is the best way to handle this problem?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If the medication is prescribed the school nurse should be calling the student to the clinic at those specific times. However, if the medication is to be given prior to school then a conference should be scheduled as stated before. RTI meetings are also beneficial as they will address the students specific needs. There are many resources available to find a solution. It is important to remember how to properly communicate with the parent. The parent should not feel as if they are being attacked. Work with the parent, not against them.
