Profoundly Disabled
,QUESTIONS
Question 1
Which task complements “Principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and
positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS)” when the shared
objective is “Behavioral Management and Intervention”?
A. Partnering effectively with parents, families, and culturally diverse communities to support
student progress and generalization of skills
B. Impact of various genetic, congenital, and acquired conditions (e.g., cerebral palsy, traumatic
brain injury, severe autism spectrum disorders, sensory impairments) on learning and
development
C. Strategies for fostering expressive and receptive communication, including Augmentative
and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems (both low-tech and high-tech)
D. Implementing positive behavior support plans, crisis prevention, and differential
reinforcement strategies (e.g., DRO, DRA, DRL)
Correct Answer: D
Full Explanation: Behavioral Management and Intervention: Implementing positive behavior
support plans, crisis prevention, and differential reinforcement strategies (e.g., DRO, DRA, DRL).
Behavioral Management and Intervention: Principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and
positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS). A: This describes “Collaboration and Family
Partnerships”, rather than the requested focus. B: This describes “Human Growth and
Development”, rather than the requested focus. C: This describes “Communication and Assistive
Technology”, rather than the requested focus.
Question 2
“Communication and Assistive Technology” has been confused with the task
“Principles of screening, diagnosing, and progress-monitoring for students with
significant cognitive and developmental delays”. Which description should
replace that task?
A. Strategies for fostering expressive and receptive communication, including Augmentative
and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems (both low-tech and high-tech)
B. Applying instructional methodologies such as task analysis, systematic instruction, errorless
learning, and prompt fading
C. Special Education: Severely and Profoundly Disabled
D. Principles of screening, diagnosing, and progress-monitoring for students with significant
cognitive and developmental delays
Correct Answer: A
Full Explanation: Communication and Assistive Technology: Strategies for fostering expressive
and receptive communication, including Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
systems (both low-tech and high-tech). Assessment Principles and Methods: Principles of
screening, diagnosing, and progress-monitoring for students with significant cognitive and
developmental delays. B: This describes “Functional and Academic Instruction”, rather than the
requested focus. C: This describes “Test AZ030”, rather than the requested focus. D: This
describes “Assessment Principles and Methods”, rather than the requested focus.

Question 3
Among these proposed associations for “Legal, Ethical, and Professional
Standards”, “Medical and Health-Related Needs”, “Managing specialized health
care procedures in educational settings”, “Functional and Academic
Instruction”, which one is consistent? Pay particular attention to the role of
“Ethical considerations regarding the rights, dignity, self-determination, and
advocacy for individuals with severe and profound disabilities”.
A. Legal, Ethical, and Professional Standards — Managing specialized health care procedures in
educational settings (e.g., tube feeding, seizure management, positioning, and monitoring
vital medical equipment)
B. Legal, Ethical, and Professional Standards — Developing and delivering evidence-based
functional curricula tailored to daily living, self-help, motor development, and vocational
readiness
C. Legal, Ethical, and Professional Standards — tube feeding, seizure management, positioning,
and monitoring vital medical equipment
D. Legal, Ethical, and Professional Standards — Ethical considerations regarding the rights,
dignity, self-determination, and advocacy for individuals with severe and profound disabilities
Correct Answer: D
Full Explanation: Legal, Ethical, and Professional Standards: Ethical considerations regarding the
rights, dignity, self-determination, and advocacy for individuals with severe and profound
disabilities. A: This option instead describes the following different focus: Medical and
Health-Related Needs: Managing specialized health care procedures in educational settings (e.g.,
tube feeding, seizure management, positioning, and monitoring vital medical equipment). B: This
option instead describes the following different focus: Functional and Academic Instruction:
Developing and delivering evidence-based functional curricula tailored to daily living, self-help,
motor development, and vocational readiness. C: This option instead describes the following
different focus: Managing specialized health care procedures in educational settings: tube feeding,
seizure management, positioning, and monitoring vital medical equipment.

Question 4
Which note correctly distinguishes the focus of “Managing specialized health
care procedures in educational settings”, “Legal, Ethical, and Professional
Standards”, “Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and Transition
Planning”, “Human Growth and Development”? Pay particular attention to the
role of “Designing proactive transition plans focused on post-school outcomes,
community integration, supported employment, and adult daily living”.
A. Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and Transition Planning — tube feeding, seizure
management, positioning, and monitoring vital medical equipment
B. Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and Transition Planning — Designing proactive
transition plans focused on post-school outcomes, community integration, supported
employment, and adult daily living
C. Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and Transition Planning — Cognitive, physical,
neurological, and motor development of individuals with severe, profound, and multiple
disabilities
D. Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and Transition Planning — Federal and state laws
governing special education (e.g., IDEA, ADA, Section 504) and related mandates concerning
procedural safeguards and confidentiality
Correct Answer: B
