What's Up with This Student?

This was a very interesting program. A special education teacher called in to try to get a better handle on the behavioral challenges being presented by one of her middle school students. After first considering whether the student needed to be evaluated for a psychiatric condition, the discussion turned in the usual direction: toward consideration of the student's lagging skills and unsolved problems. Slowly but surely, the unsolved problems that require further exploration became clarified, and some of the questions that might be asked in further "drilling for information" became clearer as well. Definitely worth listening to!
