When I hear about a low-performing 5th grader, there are a few questions that I ask to set the ground level. 💡 perhaps the machine will be able to flesh out this outline.
- Can they read? (Sounding out, or understanding the meaning)
- Can they behave in a classroom?
- Can they toilet?
Can they read?
- do they know all the letter sounds?
- can they read a list of instructions?
- can they use an iPad?
Can they behave in a classroom?
- Can they eat without assistance?
- Are they likely to bite?
- Do they need a "behavior aide"?
Can they toilet?
- Do they still wet the bed at night sometimes?
- Do they wear diapers?
- Do they need a catheter or other medical assistance? ⚙️ in various SCOTUS decisions including Irving Independent School District v. Tatro and Cedar Rapids Community School District v. Garret F., they have ruled that "medical treatments such as suctioning, ventilator checks, catheterization, ..." are not considered "medical services"
