Question 1

Children with learning disabilities

Accepted Answer

Children with learning disabilities are more likely to have ADHD, as there is a higher prevalence of co-occurring conditions.

Question 2

With dyslexia,

Accepted Answer

Dyslexia is a learning disability that affects reading comprehension and processing. Individuals with dyslexia may struggle with recognizing and decoding words, reading fluently, and understanding what they have read. Dyslexia does not necessarily impact mathematical abilities, amblyopia (lazy eye), or social skills.

Question 3

According to the recent "Multimodal Treatment Study," which was found to be the most effective method for treating ADHD?

Accepted Answer

According to the "Multimodal Treatment Study," stimulant medications were found to be the most effective method for treating ADHD.

Question 4

In childhood,dyslexia tends to be treated with

Accepted Answer

The best treatment for dyslexia in childhood is typically remediation, which involves systematic and explicit instruction to improve reading skills. Accommodations, such as extra time on tests or audio books, may also be helpful but do not address the underlying issue of difficulty with reading. Medication and cognitive behavioral therapy are not typically used as treatments for dyslexia.

Question 5

Thomas has dyslexia.He takes part in a treatment program in which he learns to blend sounds to make words and to identify word pairs that rhyme.This type of program is called

Accepted Answer

The program described focuses on phonological awareness, which is not specifically listed among the options provided.

Question 6

Nina is 7 years old and has been diagnosed with ADHD.Her parents tell her not to worry because most children outgrow ADHD.Is this true?

Accepted Answer

Research shows that at least two-thirds of children with ADHD continue to show one or more core symptoms into adolescence and adulthood. While some symptoms may decrease or disappear with age, it is not accurate to say that most children outgrow ADHD. Early diagnosis and treatment can be beneficial but it does not guarantee that symptoms will disappear completely. It's important for Nina's parents to provide her with ongoing support and resources to manage her ADHD throughout her life.

Question 7

One concern over the use of stimulants to control the symptoms of ADHD is that stimulants

Accepted Answer

All of these concerns have been raised regarding the use of stimulants to treat ADHD. Stimulants may suppress height and weight gains in children, they may be used unnecessarily to control normal high activity levels in children, and they may lose effectiveness over time, requiring higher doses or alternative treatments. It is important for healthcare providers and parents to carefully weigh the risks and benefits of stimulant medication for each individual child with ADHD.

Question 8

A Spanish study (Miranda & Presentacion,2000)found that it was possible to teach children with ADHD to "stop and think" before giving in to aggressive impulses.This type of program or treatment is known as

Accepted Answer

The program or treatment mentioned in the study is focused on teaching children with ADHD to control their aggressive impulses through cognitive behavioral therapy, which includes strategies such as "stop and think" before acting out. Psychoanalysis, immersion therapy, and genetic counseling are not directly related to this type of behavior modification program.

Question 9

Which of the following is TRUE about learning disabilities?

Accepted Answer

Learning disabilities do not disappear as children reach adulthood. They are also not limited to affecting less than 1% of the childhood population or being more common in one gender over the other. Each individual with a learning disability is unique and may require different forms of support to reach their full potential.

Question 10

Mya has been diagnosed as having dyslexia.She is among what percentage of American children who have this particular learning disability?

Accepted Answer

Estimates suggest that dyslexia affects approximately 5 to 17.5% of the American population, making it one of the most common learning disabilities.

Question 11

Dyslexia appears to affect

Accepted Answer

According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, dyslexia affects between 5 and 17.5% of American children.

Question 12

Which of the following would be most effective in treating ADHD?

Accepted Answer

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to treating ADHD, as symptoms and severity can vary greatly among individuals. However, a combination of stimulant medication and cognitive behavioral therapy is often recommended as the most effective treatment plan. In some cases, symptoms may improve with time, but this is not a reliable solution for all individuals with ADHD. Therefore, a tailored approach that incorporates medication and therapy is often the most effective way to manage symptoms and improve overall functioning.

Question 13

If a college student with dyslexia is allowed extra time to take an exam because of the amount of reading involved,this is called

Accepted Answer

Accommodation refers to providing adjustments or modifications to accommodate the needs of a student with disabilities, such as allowing extra time on exams. Remediation refers to programs or interventions aimed at improving skills or addressing deficits. Mainstreaming is the practice of including students with disabilities in regular education environments. Scaffolding refers to the support provided to students as they learn new skills or concepts.

Question 14

According to Waxmonsky (2005),for those with ADHD,_________ may benefit more from stimulant medications,whereas __________ may benefit more from cognitive behavioral therapies.

Accepted Answer

Waxmonsky (2005) suggests that children with ADHD may benefit more from stimulant medications, while adolescents and adults may see more benefits from cognitive-behavioral therapies.

Question 15

Which of the following techniques are most used to treat ADHD?

Accepted Answer

Stimulant medications, such as Ritalin and Adderall, are the most commonly prescribed medications for treating ADHD. Sedatives would not be an effective treatment for ADHD and classical conditioning is not a commonly used technique for treating this disorder. Vitamin K shots are used to prevent bleeding in newborns and are not related to the treatment of ADHD.

Question 16

How do stimulant medications,such as Ritalin,have their effect on ADHD?

Accepted Answer

Stimulant medications, such as Ritalin, work by blocking the reabsorption of dopamine and noradrenaline, increasing their availability in the brain. These neurotransmitters are involved in regulating attention, motivation, and impulse control, which can help alleviate the symptoms of ADHD.

Question 17

Children with learning disabilities tend to

Accepted Answer

Children with learning disabilities may struggle with academic tasks, which can lead to feelings of frustration and inadequacy. This can often result in social and emotional difficulties, as well as disruptive behavior in the classroom. Therefore, all of the options listed (poorer social skills, more behavior problems, and more emotional problems) are common challenges for children with learning disabilities.

Question 18

Dyslexia

Accepted Answer

Dyslexia appears to have a genetic component, as it often runs in families and specific genes have been identified that may contribute to the disorder. There is no evidence to support that it is caused by exposure to environmental toxins or lack of oxygen during birth, and while some research has focused on chromosome 7, this is not a definitive cause.

Question 19

Cognitive behavioral therapies for ADHD focus on

Accepted Answer

Cognitive behavioral therapies for ADHD typically focus on teaching children how to identify negative thoughts, stop, and think before reacting impulsively. They may also learn strategies to manage their symptoms, such as organizational skills and impulse control. These therapies do not involve bringing up unconscious motives and conflicts, nor do they teach parents to be more authoritarian or children to recognize when they need medication.

Question 20

Which of the following would an individual with dyslexia find the most difficult?

Accepted Answer

Dyslexia is a learning disorder that affects a person's ability to read, spell, and write. It is specifically related to difficulty with identifying and processing the sounds in language, which can make it hard to recognize and distinguish between similar sounding letters such as "b" and "d". The other options, distinguishing between sounds while talking, balancing, and sitting still, are not directly related to dyslexia.
