EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN CHAPTER 12 QUESTIONS
WITH CORRECT ANSWERS VERIFIED A+
Anoxia - correct answers-a lack of oxygen severe enough to cause tissue damage; can cause permanent
brain damage and mental retardation
Closed head injury - correct answers-caused by the head hitting a stationary object with such force that
the brain slams against the inside of the cranium; stress of this rapid movement and impact pulls apart
and tears nerve fibers, or axons, of the brain
Deaf-blindness - correct answers-any combination of hearing and visual impairments that causes such
severe communication, developmental, and educational needs that the individual cannot be
accommodated in a special education program designed solely for children with hearing impairments or
visual impairments
Multiple disabilities - correct answers-two or more disabilities in the same person; defined as a disability
category in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act as "concomitant impairments, the
combination of which causes such severe educational needs that they cannot be accommodated in
special education programs solely for one of the impairments"
Open head injury - correct answers-result of penetration of the skull, such as caused by a bullet or a
forceful blow to the head with a hard or sharp object
Partial participation - correct answers-a teaching approach that acknowledges that even though an
individual with severe disabilities may not be able to independently perform all the steps of a given task
or activity, she can often be taught to do selected components or an adapted version of the task
Profound disabilities - correct answers-functioning at a level no higher than a typically developing 2-
year-old in all behavioral and cognitive domains and requiring intensive supports and continuous
monitoring
Severe disabilities - correct answers-a term used to refer to challenges faced by individuals with severe
and profound mental retardation, autism, and/or physical/sensory impairments combined with marked
developmental delay; exhibition of extreme deficits in intellectual functioning and need of systematic
instruction for basic skills such as self-care and communicating with others
Task analysis - correct answers-breaking a complex skill or chain of behaviors into smaller, teachable
units
Time delay - correct answers-a teaching technique for transferring control of a student's response from
a teacher-provided prompt (e.g., teacher saying the word on a printed card) to the target stimulus (e.g.,
printed word); in a progressive procedure in which using the target stimulus and prompt are presented
concurrently in initial trials and a gradually increasing amount of time (e.g., 1 second, 2 seconds) is then
inserted between the presentation of the target stimulus and the prompt, which may result in few or no
errors by the learner
