Detailed explanation-1: -The child may be both gifted and have ADHD, which presents as an inconsistent (or even average) performance across school subjects. It can be difficult to correctly address a common situation like this even for experienced teachers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Even when academic performance is high, the hidden cost of ADD (ADHD) is often taking a toll.
