14-year-old Beth’s mother failed to show up today for her appointment with the school psychologist to discuss her daughter’s excessive absenteeism from school. How should the psychologist handle the situation?
  1. Call the mother and ask her what happened.
  2. Have the school secretary call to reschedule the appointment.
  3. Wait a couple of days to see if the mother contacts the school on her own to reschedule the appointment.
  4. Send the mother a computer-generated “failed appointment” letter asking her to reschedule her appointment as soon as possible.
Explanation
Answer: A - The psychologist should call the mother to inquire what happened. Maybe she just forgot the appointment, but maybe something else is going on related to Beth’s absenteeism. Option A is the only one of the four that addresses the issue.
