Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maturational delay refers to slower development in specific areas compared to typical development, which is commonly seen in children with learning disabilities. Hyperkinetic behavior refers to excessive, uncontrollable motor activity and impulsivity. Genetic inheritance may contribute to learning disabilities, but it is not a specific difficulty experienced by children with learning disabilities. Inappropriate school instruction may contribute to or exacerbate learning disabilities, but it is not a defining characteristic of learning disabilities themselves.
