High school students who are in a class for individuals with intellectual disabilities recently completed a unit on travel in the community. The teacher of students with CI wants to assess the skills students learned about taking a city bus. She accompanies pairs of students to the bus stop and watches from a distance as they board the bus, pay their fairs with correct change, and travel to their destination. This type of test is called:
-
Authentic assessment.
-
Functional assessment.
-
On-demand assessment.
-
Formative assessment.
Correct Answer
A. Authentic assessment.Explanation
The teacher's method of assessing the students' skills by observing them in a real-life situation and evaluating their ability to navigate the city bus system is an example of authentic assessment. This type of assessment focuses on real-world application of knowledge and skills, rather than just memorization or regurgitation of information. It allows the teacher to see how well the students can apply what they have learned in a practical setting, which is especially important for students with intellectual disabilities who may struggle with traditional forms of assessment.Rate this question:

It is important to be cautious when using an IQ test to assess the intelligence of a young child with a cognitive impairment because:
-
The test does not include young students in the normative samples of standard intelligence tests.
-
The test does not show the creativity levels for children under the age of seven.
-
The younger the child, the less validity the test has.
-
The information generated from the test is not useful for this age group.
Correct Answer
A. The younger the child, the less validity the test has.Explanation
The explanation for the correct answer is that IQ tests are designed and normed based on the average intelligence levels of individuals within specific age groups. However, for young children with cognitive impairments, their developmental delays can affect their ability to perform on these tests accurately. As a result, the validity of the test decreases as the child's age decreases, making it less reliable in assessing their intelligence.Rate this question:

To diagnose an intellectual disability in a child, professionals consider the child's intellectual functioning and:
-
Verbal language
-
Social skills
-
Family history
-
Adaptive behavior
Correct Answer
A. Adaptive behaviorExplanation
To diagnose an intellectual disability in a child, professionals consider the child's intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior. Adaptive behavior refers to the child's ability to perform everyday tasks and activities that are appropriate for their age. This includes skills such as communication, self-care, social interactions, and problem-solving. Assessing adaptive behavior helps professionals understand how well the child can function independently in different environments. By considering both intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior, professionals can make a comprehensive assessment of the child's abilities and determine if they meet the criteria for an intellectual disability.Rate this question:

When administering an assessment for aptitude or achievement to a student with impaired sensory, motor, or verbal skills, a teacher must select test criteria that:
-
Accommodate the student's limited physical capabilities.
-
Measure skills included on the student's IEP.
-
Contain questions on topics that are familiar to the student.
-
Include opportunities for the student to take frequent breaks.
Correct Answer
A. Accommodate the student's limited physical capabilities.Explanation
When administering an assessment to a student with impaired sensory, motor, or verbal skills, it is important for the teacher to select test criteria that accommodate the student's limited physical capabilities. This means that the assessment should be designed in a way that allows the student to effectively demonstrate their knowledge and skills despite their physical limitations. This may involve providing alternative formats, such as braille or large print, using assistive technology, or modifying the test instructions or tasks to make them more accessible for the student. By accommodating the student's limited physical capabilities, the teacher ensures that the assessment accurately reflects the student's abilities and provides a fair opportunity for them to demonstrate their knowledge and skills.Rate this question:

A student with a mild cognitive impairment is using a nonstandard assessment accommodation on a state standardized assessment. the student's results will:
-
Not be counted as assessed when calculating accountability participation rates.
-
Be counted when calculating accountability participation rates if the nonstandard accommodation is one of the student uses on a regular basis in the classroom.
-
Not be counted as assessed if the student is using an assessment two or more grade levels below his or her same-age peers.
-
Be counted when calculating accountability participation rates on a district basis only.
Correct Answer
A. Not be counted as assessed when calculating accountability participation rates.Explanation
A student with a mild cognitive impairment is using a nonstandard assessment accommodation on a state standardized assessment. In this case, the student's results will not be counted as assessed when calculating accountability participation rates. This means that the student's performance on the assessment will not be taken into account when evaluating the school or district's overall performance. The reason for this is that the nonstandard accommodation may give the student an unfair advantage or may not accurately reflect their true abilities. Therefore, their results are not included in the calculation of participation rates.Rate this question:
