  • 2. 

    Girls are               likely to be identified with ADHD than boys.           

    • More

    • Less

    • Equally

    Correct Answer
    A. Less
    Explanation
    Girls are less likely to be identified with ADHD than boys. This could be due to several factors, including differences in symptom presentation and societal biases. ADHD is often characterized by hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention, which may be more noticeable and disruptive in boys. Girls with ADHD may exhibit different symptoms, such as daydreaming or internalizing their struggles, leading to underdiagnosis or misdiagnosis. Additionally, there may be a societal perception that ADHD is more prevalent in boys, leading to a bias in identification and referral for evaluation.

    Services are to be delivered in settings that best meet the needs of the student and are closest to the typical general education setting. This is the premise of which?

    • Least restrictive environment

    • Equal protection

    • Nondiscriminatory assessment

    • Free appropriate public education

    Correct Answer
    A. Least restrictive environment
    Explanation
    The premise of the statement "Services are to be delivered in settings that best meet the needs of the student and are closest to the typical general education setting" aligns with the concept of the least restrictive environment. This principle ensures that students with disabilities are educated alongside their non-disabled peers to the greatest extent possible, while still receiving the necessary supports and services. It emphasizes the importance of inclusion and providing opportunities for students with disabilities to participate in the general education curriculum and social interactions.

    • Postnatal

    • Perinatal

    • Priminatal

    Correct Answer
    A. Prenatal
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Prenatal" because disabilities that occur before birth are referred to as prenatal. This term specifically relates to any conditions or impairments that develop during pregnancy or are present at birth. It encompasses a wide range of disabilities or health issues that can affect a fetus, such as genetic disorders, congenital anomalies, or complications due to maternal health conditions or exposure to harmful substances.

    • Parent participation

    • An individualized education program

    Correct Answer
    A. A free appropriate public education (FAPE)
    Explanation
    All children, regardless of the severity of their disability, have the right to receive a free appropriate public education (FAPE) according to the IDEA. This means that schools are required to provide educational services and supports that are tailored to meet the unique needs of each child with a disability. FAPE ensures that children with disabilities have access to the same educational opportunities as their peers without disabilities, allowing them to learn and make progress in their education. This principle is a fundamental aspect of inclusive education and promotes equal opportunities for all students.

    • Special education schools

    Correct Answer
    A. General Education classrooms
    Explanation
    Students with ADHD are primarily served in general education classrooms. This setting allows them to receive the necessary support and accommodations while also being included in the regular education environment. Inclusion in general education classrooms promotes social interaction, peer relationships, and academic growth. It also provides opportunities for students with ADHD to learn from their typically developing peers and develop important life skills. This approach aligns with the principles of inclusive education, where students with disabilities are educated alongside their non-disabled peers to the greatest extent possible.

  • 10. 

    Students with disabilities are more likely to be which than are students in the general population?

    • Poor

    • Middle Class

    • Upper Class

    • Wealthy

    Correct Answer
    A. Poor
    Explanation
    Students with disabilities are more likely to be poor than students in the general population. This is because students with disabilities often face additional challenges in accessing education, employment, and support services, which can result in lower income levels. Additionally, the cost of accommodations and specialized services for students with disabilities can create financial strain for families, further contributing to a higher likelihood of poverty.

    Rate this question:

    Which race of students with disabilities are least likely to be educated in the general education classroom than students from any other race.

    • American Indian/ Pacific Island

    • African American

    • Asian American

    • European American

    Correct Answer
    A. African American
    Explanation
    African American students with disabilities are least likely to be educated in the general education classroom compared to students from other races. This could be due to various factors such as systemic inequalities, lack of resources and support, implicit bias, and disproportionate placement in special education programs. It is important to address these disparities and ensure equal opportunities and inclusion for all students, regardless of their race or disability.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Which race is the most overrepresented in the intellectually disability category?

    • European American students

    • African American students

    • Hispanic American students

    • Asian American students

    Correct Answer
    A. African American students
    Explanation
    The answer is African American students. This is because research has shown that African American students are more likely to be identified as having an intellectual disability compared to other racial and ethnic groups. This overrepresentation may be due to various factors, including cultural biases in assessment and identification processes, disparities in access to quality education and resources, and systemic inequalities in the education system. It is important to address these disparities and ensure equitable opportunities for all students, regardless of their race or ethnicity.

These components are important in helping individuals successfully navigate the challenges and opportunities that come with adulthood, such as finding suitable employment and furthering their education.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Teaching expectations using multiple strategies include all of the following except:

    • Providing models and demonstrations

    • Have students copy the expectations in notebooks

    • Providing opportunities for practice

    • Reminding students of expectations

    Correct Answer
    A. Have students copy the expectations in notebooks
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Have students copy the expectations in notebooks." This is because copying expectations in notebooks does not actively engage students in understanding and internalizing the expectations. While providing models and demonstrations, providing opportunities for practice, and reminding students of expectations are all effective strategies for teaching expectations, simply copying them does not promote deep understanding or application of the expectations.

    Which is a technique that allows students with EBD to assume larger roles in their behavior-change efforts?

    • Teaching self-control

    • Academic intervention

    • Social skills instruction

    • Token economy

    Correct Answer
    A. Teaching self-control
    Explanation
    Teaching self-control is a technique that allows students with EBD (Emotional and Behavioral Disorders) to assume larger roles in their behavior-change efforts. By teaching self-control, students learn strategies to manage their own behavior, make better choices, and regulate their emotions. This approach empowers students to take ownership of their actions and develop the necessary skills to improve their behavior independently. It focuses on building their self-awareness, self-discipline, and self-regulation abilities, enabling them to actively participate in their own behavior-change process.

    Rate this question:

  • 39. 

    In order to establish that a student has a communication disorder as opposed to a communication difference, there must be a discrepancy between the student's                   and the communication of others who have the same culture, language, and dialect.

    • Reading level

    • Verbal communication

    • IQ

    • Voice quality

    Correct Answer
    A. Verbal communication
    Explanation
    To establish that a student has a communication disorder rather than a communication difference, it is necessary to compare the student's verbal communication with that of others who share the same culture, language, and dialect. This means that the student's verbal communication skills should show a noticeable discrepancy or difference when compared to their peers who have similar linguistic and cultural backgrounds. The other options, such as reading level, IQ, and voice quality, are not directly related to determining whether a student has a communication disorder or difference.
