Which condition is included under Other Health Impairments in its classification?

• A. Intellectual Disabilities
• B. Emotional Disturbance
• C. Language Impairments
• D. ADHD

Answer: (D)

Other Health Impairments covers medical or health-related conditions that affect a student’s alertness, stamina, or overall energy, which can limit learning and require supports or accommodations. ADHD fits this category because its symptoms—inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity—can reduce a student’s ability to focus, stay on task, and engage in class activities, thereby impacting educational performance. The other options belong to different disability categories: Intellectual Disabilities involve broader cognitive limitations; Emotional Disturbance refers to serious emotional or behavioral issues; Language Impairments concern difficulties with speech and language. While students can have co-occurring conditions, ADHD is the condition that is specifically included under Other Health Impairments.
