Which of the following services is provided under the category of 'Other Health Impairment'?

• A. Autism
• B. ADHD
• C. Deafness
• D. Speech Impairment

Answer: (B)

The choice of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) being categorized under 'Other Health Impairment' is correct because this classification encompasses various chronic health conditions that limit a child's strength, vitality, or alertness, which may include conditions that affect attention, such as ADHD. The definition provided by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) indicates that 'Other Health Impairment' includes having limited alertness due to chronic or acute health problems.

Conditions like autism, deafness, and speech impairments represent more specific categories of disabilities under IDEA and do not fall under the broader 'Other Health Impairment' classification. Each of these conditions has distinct characteristics and implications for educational support, while ADHD is often recognized for its impact on focus and self-regulation, thus fitting more appropriately in this specific category.
