Listen Later

  •  Can your student talk on his/her feet without struggling, stumbling, and groping for words? Feel confident speaking?
  •  Can your student shift “speaking gears” to talk to different kinds of people? Neighbors, people in authority? Or does your child only use “teen-speak”?
  •  Is your child a good listener? Or a distracted listener?
  •  Can he or she write well? In a clear, organized, way — using good words and without rambling.
  •  Does he or she read with concentration and absorb/remember the information?
