Struggling Student

In my clinical classroom I feel that there could be several students who can be considered as struggling. There is one student that I have worked with several times.  The student's main problem is keeping on task.  When I am sitting next to them and giving encouragement they have very little difficulty staying on task and completing work. The student seems to want to move on with the other students at the table but because their head was down or they were drifting off and looking around the room, the work was not completed and they must stay behind and finish.  I try to get the student to focus on the work to be completed and walk away and a few moments later reengage the student.
