Mrs. Williams has noticed that third-grade student Michael often interprets loud noises as aggression. He also has difficulty focusing and sitting still. Changes in the routine may “set him off.” Which of the following classifications might explain Michael’s behaviors?

ADHD
SLD
Down syndrome
Cerebral palsy

Explanation

Answer: A-Michael’s behaviors most closely fit a description of ADHD.
Children with ADHD seem to have more excitatory compounds in their brains, or they may even have brain anomalies which misinterpret sensory information. These children often interpret someone talking loudly as being combative. They may also seem disruptive and unfocused.
