Question 1

Routinely giving students personal assistants ______.

Accepted Answer

Providing students with personal assistants can lead to increased dependency as they may rely on the assistant for support rather than developing their own skills and independence.

Question 2

When considering the potential risk of an intervention, "cost" should be considered in terms of ______ as well as financial resources.

Accepted Answer

Cost in the context of intervention risk includes not just financial resources but also ethical considerations, such as the moral implications and responsibilities associated with the intervention.

Question 3

What is the BEST response when a student's parents insist on a strategy that you know to be ineffective?

Accepted Answer

Explaining how the strategy might affect other approaches allows for a constructive conversation, respects the parents' concerns, and provides an opportunity to guide them towards more effective strategies.

Question 4

______ involves collecting data to show how well a specific strategy or program is being implemented.

Accepted Answer

Fidelity of implementation refers to the degree to which programs or strategies are implemented as intended by their designers, focusing on the accuracy and integrity of the implementation process.

Question 5

Most current evidence supports ______ used in a structured education program as the best way to help students with autism learn.

Accepted Answer

Systematic, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)-based instructional practices are widely supported by current evidence as the most effective method for teaching students with autism. ABA focuses on improving specific behaviors and involves structured teaching strategies tailored to the individual's needs.

Question 6

The outcomes promised by a particular intervention ______.

Accepted Answer

The outcomes promised by a particular intervention should be relevant and directly aligned with the student's Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals to ensure that the intervention is appropriate and targeted towards the student's specific needs and educational objectives.

Question 7

When seeking to provide evidence-based practices for their students with autism, a school ______ an "autism program" to ensure all students receive identical services.

Accepted Answer

Developing a singular "autism program" for all students with autism does not account for the diverse needs and strengths of each individual. Evidence-based practices in autism education emphasize personalized approaches over one-size-fits-all programs.

Question 8

Intervention studies used to determine evidence-based practices should have been ______.

Accepted Answer

Intervention studies need to be replicated across different variables such as age groups or settings to ensure that the findings are generalizable and reliable. This helps in determining if the practices are truly evidence-based and effective across different contexts.

Question 9

What is the common thread in all criteria the chapter discusses for determining evidence-based practices?

Accepted Answer

The common thread in all criteria for determining evidence-based practices is that they have been evaluated with high-quality research designs. This ensures the practices are scientifically validated and effective.

Question 10

Education groups ______.

Accepted Answer

Education groups often tailor their definitions and applications of evidence-based practices (EBPs) to best serve their specific target populations, acknowledging that different groups may have varying needs and contexts.

Question 11

______ is an example of a CTMS, while _____ is an example of a focused intervention technique included in established evidence-based behavioral interventions (CTMS and focused).

Accepted Answer

The Denver Model is an example of a Comprehensive Treatment Model for Autism Spectrum Disorders (CTMS), while discrete trial training is a focused intervention technique used within various evidence-based behavioral interventions.

Question 12

What is the goal of the Association for Science in Autism Treatment (ASAT), as it relates to evidence-based practices?

Accepted Answer

The Association for Science in Autism Treatment (ASAT) aims to share scientifically reliable information to help make informed treatment decisions, focusing on evidence-based practices in autism treatment.

Question 13

What is the goal of the IRIS Center of Peabody College, Vanderbilt University, as it relates to evidence-based practices?

Accepted Answer

The IRIS Center aims to identify evidence-based practices (EBPs) and guide the implementation of those practices, particularly in the field of education.

Question 14

A clearly articulated educational program ______.

Accepted Answer

A clearly articulated educational program should focus on meaningful outcomes for students, appropriate intensity, and well-described elements to ensure effectiveness and clarity.

Question 15

What is the MOST important way documentation contributes to the success of programs for children with autism?

Accepted Answer

Documentation is crucial in demonstrating the relationship between student outcomes and the specific components of a program designed for children with autism. This evidence-based approach helps in assessing the effectiveness of the program and making necessary adjustments to meet the individual needs of each child, thereby contributing significantly to the success of such programs.

Question 16

Information and updates on EBPs ______.

Accepted Answer

Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs) should be obtained from reliable and reputable sources to ensure the information is accurate and trustworthy.

Question 17

In what area is a team most likely to be tempted to choose a popular intervention rather than one that is appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Teams may be tempted to choose popular interventions in placement decisions due to trends or pressures, rather than selecting the most appropriate option for the individual's needs.

Question 18

What is the definition of what constitutes an evidence-based practice?

Accepted Answer

There is no single, accepted definition of what constitutes an evidence-based practice (EBP). This is because the concept of EBP is broad and can vary across different fields, disciplines, and contexts. While specific organizations, such as the National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), may provide their own definitions or criteria for what they consider to be EBPs, there is not a universally agreed-upon definition that applies in all situations.

Question 19

Various fields (e.g., nursing, medicine) have evidence-based practices ______.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Various fields (e.g., nursing, medicine) have evidence-based...

Question 20

The NAC and the NPDC ______.

Accepted Answer

The NAC (National Autism Center) and the NPDC (National Professional Development Center) work to identify effective intervention practices, particularly in the context of autism and developmental disabilities.
