Based on the information provided, Maria, a student with a traumatic brain injury who struggles with most subjects, would qualify for services under IDEA. Students who have a disability that affects their educational performance and requires special education and related services to meet their unique needs are eligible for services under IDEA. ADHD, asthma, and lactose intolerance alone would not qualify a student for services under IDEA.
