Hello my name is Amanda and I am currently attending a class with Dr. Creech at

Hello
I had a child who did not speak until Thanksgiving. Not one word. He was
very shy, had lost first his cat and then his beloved grandparent, which
didn't help the situation much. Then finally one day he said, "I choose to
pass" when asked to share and his classmates gave him a standing ovation!

One thing that I remember from the Fat City video is that he mentioned giving a
shy student a signal about when you are going to call on him/her. I think that
