Attention deficit disorder (ADD) is a separate category under IDEA, so students with ADD automatically qualify for special education services.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While students with ADD may qualify for special education services if they meet the eligibility criteria under IDEA, having ADD alone does not automatically qualify them for services. A comprehensive evaluation must be conducted to determine if the student has a disability that adversely affects their educational performance and requires special education services to address their unique needs.
