LPC EXAM 2026 QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED
CORRECT ANSWERS
◉ Reading Disorder Answer: A. Reading achievement, as measured
by individually administered standardized test of reading accuracy
or comprehension, is substantially below that expected given the
person's chronological age, measured intelligence, and age
appropriate education.
B. Disturbance in A significantly interferes with academic
achievement or ADLs that require reading skills
C. If sensory deficit present, difficulties are in excess of those usually
associated with it
◉ Mathematics Disorder Answer: A. Mathematical ability, as
measured by individually administered standardized tests of reading
accuracy or comprehension, is substantially below that expected
given the person's chronological age, measured intelligence, and age
appropriate education.
B. Disturbance in A significantly interferes with academic
achievement or ADLs that require mathematical skills
,C. If sensory deficit present, difficulties are in excess of those usually
associated with it
◉ Disorder of Written Expression Answer: A. Writing skills
substantially below expected for chronological age, measured
intelligence and age appropriate education
B. disturbance significantly interferes with academic achievement of
ADL's requiring composition of written texts
C. If sensory deficit present, difficulties are in excess of those usually
associated with it
◉ Learning Disorder NOS Answer: Disorder s that do not meet
criteria in any specific learning disorder. Might include problems in
all three areas that together significantly interfere with academic
achievement even though performance on tests measuring each
individual skill is not substantially below what is expected for
person's agew, measured intelligence, and age-appropriate
education
◉ Developmental Coordination Disorder Answer: Performance on
daily activities that require coordination are below expectation for
age/intelligence level. Need to rule out general medical
condition/mental retardation
◉ Expressive Language Disorder Answer: A. The scores obtained
from standardized individually administered measures of
,development are substantially below those obtained from measures
of both nonverbal intellectual capacity and receptive language
development. the disturbance may be manifest clinically by
symptoms that include a markedly limited vocabulary, making
errors in tense, or having difficulty recalling words, or producing
sentences with developmentally appropriate length or complexity
B. Difficutlies interfere with academic or occupational achievement
or with social communication
C. Criteria not met for Mixed Receptive-Expressive Language Dx or
Pervasive Developmental Disorder
◉ Mixed Receptive-Expressive Language Disorder Answer: the
scores obtained from standardized individually administered
measures of both receptive and expressive language development
are substantially below those obtained from measures of nonverbal
intellectual capacity. symptoms include difficulty understanding
words, sentences, or specific types of words, such as spatial terms
◉ Phonolgical Disorder Answer: Failure to use developmentally
expected speech sounds that are appropriate for age and dialect
(errors in sound production, use, representation, or organization
such as sustitutions of one sound for another)
◉ Stuttering Answer: Disturbance in the normal fluency and time
patterning of speech (inappropriate for the individual's age),
characterized by frequent occurrences of one or more of the
following: sound and syllable repetitions; sound prolongations;
, interjections; broken words; audible or silent locking;
circumlocutions (word substitutions); words pronounced with an
excess of physical tension; momsyllabic whole-word repetitions
◉ Autistic Disorder Answer: Developmental disorder characterized
by qualitative impairments in social interaction, qualitative
impairments in communication, and restricted repetitive and
stereotyped patterns of behavior, intersts, and activities. Delays or
abnormal functioning in at least one of the following areas (social
interaction, language as used in social communication, or symbolic
or imaginative play) prior to age 3
◉ Rett's Disorder Answer: Apparently normal prenatal and perinatal
development, psychomotor development through first 5 months
after birth, normal head circumference at birth-
onset of following from 5 months to 4 years (deceleration of head
growth, loss of previously acquired hand skills and hand
movements, loss of social engagement, poorly coordinated trunk and
gait movements, impaired expressive and receptive language
development with severe psychomotor retardation - only reported
in females
◉ Childhood Disintegrative Disorder Answer: Onset 2-10 yrs of age
Skills acquired are completely lost in 2 of the following 6 areas:
language skills; receptive language skills; social skills and self-care
skills; control over bowel and bladder; play skills; motor skills
