The idea
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder involves persistent inattention, hyperactivity-impulsivity or both; it affects about five percent of children, and schools serve it under other health impairment rather than as a learning disability.
In practice
One student cannot sustain attention through a reading; another cannot stay seated.
Where people slip
ADHD is not a learning disability: it affects attention and behavior across subjects, not one academic skill.
