WHAT STRATEGIES HAS THE REFERRING TEACHER ALREADY TRIED?:
Contacting home with very limited success. Tried to sit with him one on one but the more attention
provided the less he produced more interested in social conversation with adult than the work.
Reducing assignment load. Noon detentions for failing to do work. Sits near teacher but not at a desk.
Sits on a stool or stands to work. Do this first and then produce then reward. Have him working with
other students. He produces verbally others record for him.
He keeps all of his things in the classroom therefore he doesnt need to leave to get things. Tried this in
the front of the room tried in the back
Tried to interact with him positively at the beginning of class. Tried to remove him. Tried to provide him
with supplies quietly. Tried to place him with a variety of students to support him. Provide him with
work he can do based on his pre-tests.
