Rerun Speaks – Actually, Repeats
After months of working with Rerun on his assignments, I have learned how he verbally stalls to give cover for himself (thanks, ADHD) – he is constantly rephrasing the last thing you just asked him. All. The. Time.
Today, working with his paraeducator on a writing assignment…
Her: “Rerun, you have to say this in your own words. So how is nuclear energy created?”
Rerun: (five second pause) “You’re asking how nuclear energy is created.”
Me: “Rerun, it’s in your notes.”
Rerun: “It’s in my notes?”
He is essentially Emmet from The Lego Movie: “I think I got it, but just in case, tell me the whole thing again – I wasn’t listening.“
