Intellectual Disability Case Study Essay

Michael Panico was a boy with who was identified while in first grade as having a specific learning disability. He then qualified for special education and related transportation.

His parents did not like the IEP presented or the recommended placement for Michael at Pine Glen School and Michael’s father wanted a review and he also rejected the new IEP. After reading the case I would have to agree with the father knowing my son would not be in the proper placement.

Michael had perceptual difficulties and it was determined and they recommended a specialized

While appealing to the Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas, the petitioner argued, “that the trial court erred in failing to disregard the jury’s answer to the mental-retardation special issue and in denying the appellant’s motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict.” 270 S.W3d 13 (Tex.

The petitioner argued that “because he introduced expert witnesses to demonstrate mental retardation and the State did not introduce its own expert witnesses in rebuttal, the trial court should have disregarded the jury’s answer to the mental-retardation special issue or granted his motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict.” 270 S.W.3d 13 (Tex. Cr. App. 2010). The Texas court found that the burden of proof to determine intellectual disability fell to the petitioner and that there was “no authority,

The case manager may schedule additional diagnostic evaluations and assessments in order to help the counselor make a more accurate eligibility determination.

However, individuals that are currently receiving Social Security Income are presumed to be eligible based upon being a SSI or SSDI recipient.

However, it is unclear whether the headaches have persisted at the noted on the office visit on 1/14/14. A more complete longitudinal record is needed to determine whether the claimant’s headache frequency remained at listing-level for at least 12 months despite treatment. If the headache frequency described in the 06/24/16 progress note can be confirmed back to the AOD, the intent of listing 11.03 would be satisfied.
