Kelsey is a 7-year-old first-grader who is the youngest of four children. During parent-teacher
conferences, her teacher reported that she is polite, respectful, and gets along well with her peers. She

She must often be told more than once to complete instructions. Her work is appropriate for her grade
level, but she often makes careless mistakes on her assignments. She struggles with math and avoids
doing arithmetic assignments. Her parents endorse that Kelsey's room is "sloppy" but do not notice any
