Additionally, emotional wellbeing involves an individual's self-awareness of their own emotions and their ability to appropriately react to situations based on societal norms. Furthermore, emotional wellbeing is influenced by a person's ability to motivate themselves to take action, regardless of their emotional state.

Low self-esteem or self-worth.
Decision making
Stress and anxiety.
Depression.

Correct Answer(s)

A. Low self-esteem or self-worth.
A. Stress and anxiety.

Explanation

Learning disabled children may be more willing to conform to peer pressure in an effort to become accepted. This is because they may feel a sense of low self-esteem or self-worth, leading them to seek validation from their peers. Additionally, the pressure to conform may cause stress and anxiety for these children, as they may fear being rejected or judged by their peers. This can further contribute to feelings of depression.

Many times it is tempting to fit all learning disabled people into the same bracket, but it is important to remember that everyone is an individual.

True
False

Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

This statement is true because it emphasizes the importance of recognizing that individuals with learning disabilities are unique and should not be generalized or stereotyped. Each person with a learning disability has their own strengths, weaknesses, and specific needs. It is crucial to approach their education and support on an individual basis, taking into account their unique characteristics and abilities.

The difficulty with the coordination of groups of small ______ is called fine motor disability.

Muscles
Tissues
Cells

Correct Answer

A. Muscles

Explanation

Fine motor disability refers to difficulties in coordinating small muscle movements, such as those required for precise tasks like writing or buttoning a shirt. The question asks for the term that describes the difficulty in coordinating groups of small entities. Muscles are the correct answer because they are responsible for these fine motor movements. Tissues and cells, while also important in the body, do not directly relate to the coordination of small movements in the same way that muscles do.

Even more importantly, IQ does show off a person’s strengths and abilities.

True
False

Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

IQ does not show off a person's strengths and abilities. IQ, or Intelligence Quotient, is a measure of a person's cognitive abilities and problem-solving skills. It primarily focuses on logical reasoning, analytical thinking, and memory. However, it does not take into account other important aspects of a person's abilities, such as emotional intelligence, creativity, social skills, or practical knowledge. Therefore, while IQ can provide some insight into a person's intellectual capabilities, it is not a comprehensive measure of their overall strengths and abilities.
