He is able to recall basic mathematics facts; however, when solving more complex mathematics problems, he is unable to remember the steps and often loses his place.
Middle School Victor is an eighth-grade student who receives special education services to address his needs related to a physical disability. Victor does not struggle with academic knowledge; however, he is only able to write with a pencil for short amounts of time because his muscles become fatigued easily and begin to cramp.
