Full Summary
A 9th grade student from Honduras is doing okay academically in most of his classes, but his behavior is concerning. He puts his head down in class, fidgets, and is hyperverbal. He claims he easily gets bored and loses interest because he finds classes to be too easy. Mom explains to the SST (Student Study Team) that he has trauma due to the danger he went through in their home country and the traumatic experience while fleeing to the US as asylum seekers.
Main Challenges
On one side of the table, the school psychologist and the admin assistant have a side conversation. On the other side of the table, the English teacher and student also start to have a side conversation.
