Introduction to Educational Plans in Public Schools

Consider three hypothetical students in public school. Alejandro is age ten, uses a wheelchair due to cerebral palsy, and struggles academically. Ben, age fifteen, is a popular and gregarious teen, who has been identified with dyslexia and reads with the help of audiobooks. Caitlin, who is seven, taught herself to read at a toddler, scores off the charts on IQ tests, and is frequently bored in class. She also has a life-threatening peanut allergy.
