aptitude and performance.

symptoms of the disorder are Distractibility,

forgetfulness, inability to concentrate, poor attention

span and impulsiveness. The difference between the two

disorders is ADD is Inattentive and easily distractible and

ADHD is ADD with Hyperactivity. The presence of these

symptoms hinders the learning of the child.
