A first grade student's parents have requested a special education evaluation for their child. They say that their child is struggling with learning to read. You talk with the child's teacher to see what their opinion is and they also agree that the child is struggling to learn how to read; they also inform you that the child misses a lot of school, at least a class or two a week. You decide to look at the child's attendance records and notice that between their kindergarten year and this year the student has missed 100 days of school. You conduct a multi-factored evaluation and find scores in the average intelligence range, as well as below normal academic achievement especially in the area of reading. Based on this evidence would you qualify the student for special education, why or why not?
