Answer to Question 1

D
A client who is beginning to think about disposing of the belongings of a loved one who died tragically is most likely beginning to shift from the present- to future-directed thinking.

Because ADHD is considered a developmental disability, schools are mandated to provide an Individual Education Plan (IEP) for each student with this disorder. The educational plan is developed specifically for each child to address the individual's educational needs.
