Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tigran has multiple disabilities, meaning he has more than one disability or impairment that affects his daily functioning. A program that only focuses on cognitive deficits would not be able to address all of his needs. A dual diagnosis typically refers to having both a mental health diagnosis and a substance abuse disorder, which is not mentioned in Tigran's case. While autism may be a component of his multiple disabilities, there is not enough information provided to accurately diagnose him with autism.
