Vanessa is falling further and further behind in her schoolwork, so Vanessa's teacher and parents meet with
the nurse and school psychologist to brainstorm possible solutions to Vanessa's problem. The school psychologist suggests that the teacher keep track of the occasions when Vanessa complains about a headache.
