How do you help the student who doesn't want help?
In one of my classes is a student who lost his mother in a car accident. It seems the father has shut everyone out of his life after the accident so much so that he won't seek help for his son who may have dyslexia. All attempts by the school to offer to diagnose the boy and give him help has been met with animosity. Even offering help without his parent knowledge is rejected. I am not sure if the father has brainwashed the boy so much that he thinks he doesn't need help. Perhaps, the boy was told he could never play football is he had to get help in school.
How can I help him without him realizing he is receiving help? He is very smart, but with his trouble of mixing up letters, I'm afraid he won't reach his full potential.
