Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carter's behavior is consistent with the symptoms of ADHD, which includes impulsivity, hyperactivity, and difficulty paying attention in a classroom setting. Intellectual disability, autism, and dyslexia may also affect a student's behavior in the classroom, but do not necessarily present with the same set of symptoms as ADHD.
