Your daughter qualifies for SpEd under a variety of disability areas,
specifically Learning Disabled (LD) and Physically or Otherwise Health
Impaired (POHI).
It shouldn't make any difference that she cannot be certified TBI. Get her
into the system, then construct the IEP (individual educational plan) to
address her needs. My suggestion is that she be certified POHI, something
that the Spec. Ed. system cannot deny since her disability is the direct
result of an acute disease which has left her with residual effects.
Please contact me if I can be of further assistance.
