Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Based on the given information, Dora's impairments are related to communication, as she has both a speech disorder (stuttering) and hearing problems, which can affect her ability to receive and understand verbal communication. Therefore, the best answer is C, communication disorders.

Answer A is not the best choice as the information provided does not suggest that Dora's impairments are primarily caused by a genetic condition. Answer B is not the best choice as conversion disorders typically involve physical symptoms that have no medical explanation, whereas Dora's impairments are related to well-defined medical conditions (stuttering and hearing problems). Answer D is not the best choice as attention disorders (e.g. ADHD) typically involve difficulties with focus, impulse control, and hyperactivity, and are not directly related to speech and hearing impairments.
