Sure: The hyperactivity part of adhd occurs on a spectrum of severity, just like the attetiional component both resond to the same kinds of treatment. Not to worry, the hyperactivity component doe not influence treatment or prognosis.

A Matter of Degree: It is all a matter of degree. So you may have mild impulsivity, but severe distractability.Or fair organizational skills, but bad hyperactivity.And these may change with age.Basic therapy, however , is the same for add or adhd.
