• B) Martin rarely stays in his seat for more than ten minutes, and his hands are always fidgeting with something. He needs frequent reminders to get back on task, and transitions are challenging for him.
• C) Caroline turns her head toward every sound she hears. The sound of a pencil dropping catches her attention as easily as a fire alarm. Often she is so engrossed in listening to happenings in the hall or across the room that she does not hear someone speaking directly to her.
• D) Ben's favorite times of day are recess and gym because he enjoys physical activity. It's hard for him to sit still on rainy afternoons when he hasn't had a chance to burn off some energy, but he does get his assignments done.
