Special Education Quizzes Online & Trivia

The correct answer is that intelligence of children with cerebral palsy is always hard to determine due to difficulties in perception, movement, and/or response speed, or answer D. Cerebral palsy, for those who don’t know, is a disorder that is seen in children whose brains, for some reason, didn’t properly develop in the womb. There are other ways this can come around, but this is the most common reason for a child to be given a cerebral palsy diagnosis. Due to it affecting the brain, symptoms often include poor motor skills, floppy or rigid limbs, and even involuntary movements. Due to these three symptoms - among others - children with cerebral palsy can’t be easily tested for intelligence the way we currently do so.

Special education, also called special needs education, is the education of children who differ socially, mentally, or physically from the average child to such an extent that they require modifications of usual school practices. Special education serves emotional, behavioral, or cognitive impairments or with intellectual hearing, vision, speech, or learning disability and gifts. Jean-Marc Gaspard Itard, a French physician, is considered to be the father of special education. Even though special education laws were not passed until 1975, with the introduction of Education of the Handicapped Act, Itard was attempting to educate children with mental disabilities in a systematic fashion as early as the late 1700s and early 1800s.

This is false. We should not alter communication becuase of feelings. We should only alter to aid in understanding.

All of the above-in 1975, congress passed a law known as the individuals with disabilities education act (idea). this law says that all children with disabilities have the right to go to public schools. it also says that they have the right to an appropriate education. this requirement for a free, appropriate public education is often referred to as fape. special education is designed to meet the specific needs of each child. even children in the same disability category may receive different services in different locations from different types of teachers or therapists. these uniquely designed services give each child the same opportunity as all children to receive instruction and to learn. parents do not pay for these services.

Pre-referral interventions are planned, systematic and documented efforts by a problem solving team to resolve apparent learning or behavioral problems within a regular education setting.-before a student is referred for a special education assessment, the district must conduct and document at least two instructional strategies, alternatives, or interventions while the pupil is in the regular classroom. the students teacher must provide the documentation. a special education assessment team may waive this requirement when they determine the students need for the assessment is urgent. this section may not be used to deny a students right to a special education assessment. mn. statute 125a.56(a)

The correct answer to this question is C. While technology helps speed up the evaluation process, technology has not created a more precise way to measure intelligence. While EQ (Emotional Intelligence) has gained popularity and validity, it has not replaced IQ tests because it does not yet have a validated test or scale. When studying the Foundations of Education, you learn that the concept of intelligence has changed since the late nineteenth century. At that time, scientists actually evaluated intelligence on physical characteristics and movements. Answer C is correct because scientists in the last three decades have argued that there are seven distinct intelligences that can be evaluated.

A. at least six areas of intelligence in addition to mathematics and verbal intelligence

Make a referral to the rrt who alone may waive the pre-referral requirement when they determine the student’s need for the assessment is urgent.-before a student is referred for a special education assessment, the district must conduct and document at least two instructional strategies, alternatives, or interventions while the pupil is in the regular classroom. the students teacher must provide the documentation. a special education assessment team may waive this requirement when they determine the students need for the assessment is urgent. this section may not be used to deny a students right to a special education assessment. mn. statute 125a.56(a)
