Question 2

Jacob is an elementary school student with a learning disability that interferes with his ability to read. His motor skills are poor, and he has trouble staying on task. Based on the experience of most children with learning disabilities, what might you expect to happen when Jacob reaches high school?

a. He will continue to exhibit poor motor skills, and this will prevent him from playing sports and participating in physical education.
b. He will become discouraged because his teachers expect him to be more independent and will be at risk of dropping out of school.
c. His reading skills will improve as a result of early intervention, but his attention span will still be as short as it was when he was in elementary school.
d. He will improve dramatically in all areas and probably will not require specialized instruction by the time he reaches high school.
