Fourth grader Darcie seemed unfocused and disinterested in learning. She often had headaches and complained of feeling dizzy. Mrs. Williams recommended a health assessment by her doctor rather than referring her to the special ed team. Why did Mrs. Williams choose this route?
  1. Mrs. Williams knew the family had good health insurance.
  2. Mrs. Williams suspected the student had not had a physical exam recently.
  3. Mrs. Williams knew the SPED team was overbooked.
  4. Mrs. Williams knew that health problems can sometimes cause learning problems.
Explanation
Answer: D-Mrs. Williams knew that health problems can sometimes cause learning problems. In Darcie’s case, low blood sugar was the reason she seemed unfocused and disinterested. Providing protein-rich snacks in addition to lunch solved Darcie’s problem without further intervention.
