Question 1

Which specific intervention would not be appropriate for a child who has a physical impairment?

Accepted Answer

Being consistent in behavior management techniques to increase or decrease movement may not be appropriate for a child with a physical impairment as the impairment may limit their ability to control their movements. It is important to individualize interventions based on the child's specific needs and abilities.

Question 2

Numerous intervention approaches for autism have sufficient research to establish their effectiveness.

Accepted Answer

False

Question 3

Which specific intervention would not be appropriate for a child who has a visual impairment?

Accepted Answer

Speaking with your back to the child or with a bright light behind you is actually a strategy that can be helpful for children with hearing impairments, not visual impairments. It ensures that those who rely on lip reading or facial expressions for communication can see the speaker clearly. For children with visual impairments, the focus is on enhancing their use of other senses and ensuring they are aware of their environment, which is addressed in options A, B, and C.

Question 4

Question 6

Which specific intervention would not be appropriate for a child who has autism?

Accepted Answer

Children with autism often benefit from repetition and routines. Frequent changes in activities can be overwhelming and confusing for them. Therefore, it is not an appropriate intervention.

Question 7

Which specific intervention would not be appropriate for a child who has a hearing loss?

Accepted Answer

Identifying areas of the room by different floor coverings or mobiles is more related to visual or spatial accommodations and does not directly address the needs of a child with hearing loss. The other options (A, B, D) are appropriate interventions for supporting a child with hearing loss in understanding and communication.

Question 8

Which specific intervention would not be necessary for a child who has a health impairment?

Accepted Answer

Avoiding speaking with your back to the child is not specific to a child with a health impairment and is a general good practice in communication with children. The other interventions listed are tailored to the unique needs of a child with a health impairment.

Question 9

To speak to a child with a hearing loss you should exaggerate your mouth movements.

Accepted Answer

Exaggerating mouth movements can actually distort speech and make it harder for a child with hearing loss to lip-read or understand spoken language. It's better to speak clearly, at a normal pace, and ensure your face is well-lit and visible.

Question 10

Packaged, commercially available programs most often need modifications and adaptations for a particular population of children.

Accepted Answer

Packaged, commercially available programs may not always address the specific needs and characteristics of a particular population of children. Therefore, modifications and adaptations are necessary to ensure the program is effective and relevant for the specific group of children it is intended for.

Question 11

Addressing the child's individual objectives, identifying adaptations within an activity, and deciding what team members will do is called

Accepted Answer

The given description matches with the Interdisciplinary support participation plan, which involves creating a plan that addresses the individual objectives of a child, adapting the activity to meet their needs, and delegating tasks among team members involved in the child's care. The other choices are not relevant to the given description: Ecological inventory refers to assessing the environment for accessibility, Partial participation denotes supporting a child's participation to the best of their ability, and Discrepancy analysis is a discrepancy between a child's performance and their expected level of performance.

Question 12

Children with learning impairments profit by overlearning and repeated practice.

Accepted Answer

Children with learning impairments often benefit from extra practice and repetition to reinforce skills and knowledge. This is known as overlearning, and it can help solidify what they have learned and improve their retention of information.

Question 13

It is recommended practice to continue using a prompt even when the child with severe disabilities no longer needs it.

Accepted Answer

It is not recommended to continue using a prompt if the child with severe disabilities no longer needs it. The goal is to fade prompts and promote independence. Continuing to use prompts can hinder progress towards independence.

Question 14

In order to gather a comprehensive picture of a child with a disability the teacher needs to learn about the child from the family and

Accepted Answer

In order to gather a comprehensive picture of a child with a disability, the teacher needs to utilize multiple sources of information, including gathering information from the family, sharing information from other relevant professionals, skillfully observing the child, and reviewing all available records. Therefore, all of the above choices are important in order to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the child's abilities, strengths, and needs.

Question 15

Errorless learning is effective for children who are more often correct than incorrect in their responses and have some self-confidence.

Accepted Answer

Errorless learning is particularly effective for individuals who struggle with making correct responses and may lack self-confidence, as it minimizes errors and builds confidence through positive reinforcement.

Question 16

The purpose of creating an ecological inventory for a student with severe disabilities in an inclusive classroom would be to

Accepted Answer

An ecological inventory for a student with severe disabilities would focus on analyzing the steps in an activity and the skills needed to participate. This would help identify any barriers to participation and inform strategies for supporting the student's learning and engagement within the inclusive classroom. While identifying preferred activities is important, it is not the primary purpose of an ecological inventory in this context. Choice A is more closely related to progress monitoring than ecological inventory. Choice C is too narrow of a focus and may not reflect the full range of factors that influence a student's participation.

Question 17

Low vision has a corrected visual acuity of no better than 20/70.

Accepted Answer

According to the American Optometric Association, low vision is defined as having a corrected visual acuity of no better than 20/70 in the better-seeing eye.

Question 18

All the following strategies would be helpful to teach other children in the class to help support a student who has a severe visual impairment except using

Accepted Answer

Sign language is not a helpful strategy for supporting a student with visual impairment as they rely on verbal and auditory cues more than visual ones. The other strategies listed (using the student's name, identifying themselves, and providing verbal descriptions) are all helpful ways to support a student with visual impairment.

Question 19

It is much easier to fade physical prompts then verbal prompts.

Accepted Answer

Physical prompts involve physical guidance or assistance, such as a hand-over-hand prompt, which can be gradually faded by reducing the amount of physical contact. Verbal prompts, on the other hand, involve spoken instructions or cues, which can be more difficult to fade as the learner may become reliant on them.

Question 20
