Maria.

Traumatic brain injury is an IDEA‑listed disability and she is struggling academically, so she would qualify for special education. The others either do not have an IDEA‑covered disability that adversely affects educational performance (James and Serena) or have a medical condition (Michael) that wouldn’t meet IDEA criteria. (James/Serena might qualify for supports under Section 504 if needed.)
