What Causes Behavioral Problem In 7 Year Old Child?

My 7 year old son is doing well academically but has consistently been acting up at school. He talks in class, acts silly, doesn t follow instructions, or makes strange sounds during class time. The school is losing their patience with him. Is this normal behavior or should we consider taking him to a therapist? Would a therapist help his behavior problems?
