Nine-year-old Erin has been evaluated as inattentive at school but not at home

teacher does not see as a problem.

statements is most likely to be correct?

therefore should not be diagnosed with the disorder.

has ADHD.

limits and help her academically, rather than describe her as hyperactive.

hyperactivity at the same time in a classroom intervention for ADHD.
