    How would a pregnant woman prevent mental retardation of her unborn child?  

    • Obtain early prenatal medical care

    • Obtain good nutrition

    • Seek genetic counseling

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    To prevent mental retardation of her unborn child, a pregnant woman should obtain early prenatal medical care, which includes regular check-ups and screenings to identify any potential issues. This allows for early intervention and treatment if necessary. Good nutrition is also crucial during pregnancy as it provides the necessary nutrients for the baby's development, including brain development. Seeking genetic counseling can help identify any genetic factors that may increase the risk of mental retardation and allow for informed decision-making and planning. Therefore, all of the above options are important in preventing mental retardation in an unborn child.

    Which one is a characteristic of multiple-severe disabilities?

    • Limited speech or communication

    • Difficulty in basic physical mobility

    • Tendency to forget skills through disuse

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Multiple-severe disabilities refer to a condition where an individual experiences a combination of various disabilities. Limited speech or communication is a characteristic as individuals with multiple-severe disabilities may have difficulty expressing themselves verbally. Difficulty in basic physical mobility is also a characteristic as these individuals may have challenges with movement and coordination. Additionally, there is a tendency to forget skills through disuse, as the lack of opportunities to practice and utilize these skills can lead to regression. Therefore, all of the above options are characteristics of multiple-severe disabilities.

    Which one is an impairment affected by Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?  

    • Cognition

    • Memory

    • Psychosocial behavior

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can affect various aspects of a person's functioning, including cognition, memory, and psychosocial behavior. Cognition refers to the mental processes involved in acquiring knowledge and understanding, and TBI can impair these processes. Memory is the ability to retain and recall information, and TBI can cause memory problems. Psychosocial behavior refers to the combination of psychological and social factors that influence an individual's behavior, and TBI can lead to changes in behavior and emotional functioning. Therefore, all of the options listed (cognition, memory, and psychosocial behavior) can be impaired by TBI.

    Which of the following is not a characteristic of speech or language impairment?  

    • Poor voice quality, such as distracting pitch

    • Coughing

    • Inadequate vocabulary

    • Difficulty conveying messages

    Correct Answer
    A. Coughing
    Explanation
    Coughing is not a characteristic of speech or language impairment because it is a physical reflex that occurs in response to irritation or obstruction in the airway, rather than a direct impairment in speech or language production. Speech or language impairment refers to difficulties in producing or understanding speech sounds, using language to communicate, or both. Poor voice quality, inadequate vocabulary, and difficulty conveying messages are all characteristics commonly associated with speech or language impairment.

    • Adaptive behavior

    • Systems of supports

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    All of the above is the correct answer because intellectual functioning, adaptive behavior, and systems of supports are all major components of the definition of mental retardation as defined by AAMR. These components are used to assess and diagnose individuals with intellectual disabilities. Intellectual functioning refers to a person's cognitive abilities and intellectual capacity. Adaptive behavior refers to a person's ability to function independently and adapt to daily life tasks. Systems of supports refer to the resources and assistance provided to individuals with intellectual disabilities to help them thrive and reach their full potential.

    • Large group of friends

    • Good social skills

    • Limited social interaction

    • Unable to remember information of interest

    Correct Answer
    A. Limited social interaction
    Explanation
    Autism spectrum disorder is characterized by limited social interaction. Individuals with autism often have difficulty understanding and interpreting social cues, which can make it challenging for them to engage in typical social interactions. They may struggle with maintaining eye contact, understanding nonverbal communication, and forming and maintaining relationships with others. This limited social interaction is a key characteristic of autism spectrum disorder.

    Which of the following does not promote or enhance preschoolers’ language skills?  

    • Arranging classrooms with interesting materials and providing high- interest activities

    • Making children make choices and requesting their preferred activity or the materials they want

    • Developing situations in which children are likely to need help and must communicate their needs to each other or an adult

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. None of the above
    Explanation
    All of the options listed promote or enhance preschoolers' language skills. Arranging classrooms with interesting materials and providing high-interest activities encourages children to engage in language-rich interactions.

    Which of the following is not a physical impairment?  

    • Cystic fibrosis

    • Cerebral palsy

    • Muscular dystrophy

    • Juvenile arthritis

    Correct Answer
    A. Cystic fibrosis
    Explanation
    Cystic fibrosis is not a physical impairment because it primarily affects the lungs and digestive system, rather than causing physical limitations or impairments in mobility or motor function. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that causes the production of thick, sticky mucus that can clog the lungs and obstruct the pancreas, leading to respiratory and digestive problems. While it can have significant physical effects on the body, it is not classified as a physical impairment in the same way as conditions like cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or juvenile arthritis.

    Correct Answer
    A. Digital alarm clock
    Explanation
    A digital alarm clock is not an assistive listening device because its primary function is to wake someone up with an audible alarm, rather than enhancing their ability to hear or understand sounds. Assistive listening devices are designed to help individuals with hearing impairments by amplifying sound or providing alternative ways to receive auditory information, such as through captions or real-time translations.

    Rate this question:

    • ADA

    • ARRA

    • IDEA

    • NCLB

    Correct Answer
    A. ARRA
    Explanation
    The correct answer is ARRA because ARRA stands for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which is an economic stimulus package and not a law specifically pertaining to individuals with disabilities. ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act), and NCLB (No Child Left Behind) are all laws that provide protections and support for individuals with disabilities in different contexts.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    Which of the following is not a component of education for diverse students with disabilities?  

    • Multicultural education

    • English as a Second Language(ESL)

    • Reciprocal teaching

    • Self-determination

    Correct Answer
    A. Self-determination
    Explanation
    Self-determination is not a component of education for diverse students with disabilities. Self-determination refers to the ability of individuals to make choices and decisions about their own lives, set goals, and take actions to achieve those goals. While self-determination is an important aspect of education for all students, including those with disabilities, it is not specifically related to education for diverse students with disabilities. Instead, education for diverse students with disabilities focuses on providing appropriate supports and accommodations to ensure equal access to education and promoting inclusion and diversity in the classroom.

    Which of the following is not a step to the IEP process?

    • Discussion

    • Evaluation

    • Identification

    • Pre-Referral

    Correct Answer
    A. Discussion
    Explanation
    The IEP (Individualized Education Program) process typically involves several steps, including evaluation, identification, pre-referral, discussion, and development of the IEP. However, the question asks for the step that is NOT part of the IEP process. Therefore, the correct answer is "Discussion" because it is not one of the steps involved in the IEP process.

    Which of the following is not an example of internalizing behavior?  

    • Anorexia

    • Depression

    • Hyperactivity

    • Anxiety

    Correct Answer
    A. Hyperactivity
    Explanation
    Hyperactivity is not an example of internalizing behavior because it is characterized by excessive movement and restlessness, which are external behaviors that can be observed by others. Internalizing behaviors, on the other hand, are characterized by inward-focused emotions and thoughts, such as anxiety, depression, and anorexia, which are not easily observable by others.

    All are under the category of very low incidence disabilities EXCEPT:  

    • Cerebral Palsy

    • Multiple-severe disabilities

    • Deaf-blindness

    • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

    Correct Answer
    A. Cerebral Palsy
    Explanation
    Cerebral Palsy (CP) is not categorized under very low incidence disabilities in the context of educational classification systems used in many countries, including the United States. Very low incidence disabilities typically refer to conditions that are rare and have a profound impact on learning and development, often requiring highly specialized educational strategies and supports. While CP can significantly affect physical movement and coordination, its incidence rate is higher compared to conditions like deaf-blindness or multiple-severe disabilities.

    Those who acquire a severe visual impairment after age 2 are________.  

    • Legally blind

    • Adventitiously blind

    • Congenital blind

    • None of the Above

    Correct Answer
    A. Adventitiously blind
    Explanation
    Those who acquire a severe visual impairment after age 2 are referred to as adventitiously blind. This term is used to distinguish individuals who develop visual impairments later in life from those who are born with them (congenital blind). Legally blind refers to individuals whose vision is severely impaired, but they may still have some degree of functional vision.

    Rate this question:

    Correct Answer
    A. ADHD
    Explanation
    ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is not a condition of ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). While individuals with ASD may exhibit symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, ADHD is a separate disorder characterized by persistent patterns of these behaviors. Therefore, ADHD is not considered a condition of ASD.
