Keep conversations concrete. Do not allow subjective, opinionated comments to pass without concrete examples. Once the issues are concrete, everyone in the group will be on the same page. Along these lines, also avoid allowing anyone to use labels without a statement of how the student manifests that label. A parent or advocate may say, Elton cannot remember what he was taught in school that day. Ask for specific examples. Does this involve every subject? Can he remember what he had for lunch? Has the teacher noted Elton progressing in the classroom and building on newly learned information? Each of these questions is asked to provide a complete picture of how this suspected memory problem manifests in Eltons unique case. This may lead to much discussion and it should. Do not rush past issues to keep a deadline. Chapter 15-Difficult Cases So, You Are a School Psychologist: Guide for Interns and First Year Psychologists available on Amazon
