You issue a slant board and pencil grip to your first-grade student to use in his classroom. When you check on his status, you notice that he is not using either device. You ask his teacher about the devices, and she tells you that she forgot about them. How do you emphasize the importance of these devices to your student’s teacher?
  1. You tell the teacher that using the devices is a part of your student’s IEP, and she must remember to have your student use them.
  2. You show the teacher how the devices are used and how they improve your student’s ability to complete written work.
  3. You ask your OT department to talk to the teacher since she won’t listen to you.
  4. You grab the slant board and pencil grip and give them to your student. This shows the teacher that she is irresponsible in not reinforcing the use of the devices.
Explanation
Answer: B. To emphasize the importance of these devices, you could show the teacher how the devices are used and how they improve your student’s ability to complete written work. The teacher will be more likely to remember to have your student use the devices if she understands their purposes and knows that they are effective.
