RESNA ATP EXAM 2026/2027 WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTION
Numeric Code - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔AAC coding technique in which a number stands
for a word, phrase, or sentence. Communicate quickly with fewer keystrokes
Abbreviation Expansion - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔AAC device automatically expands the
abbreviation into the expanded word. abd = abduction
Coverage Vocabularies - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔provide basic communication topics as
well as concepts for people who cannot spell - words, symbols, or pictures
Acceleration Vocabularies - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔intended to increase the rate of
communication for people who can spell - letter codes stand for words, phrases, and sentences
Semantic Encoding - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔pictures/symbols/icons represent words,
phrases, and sentences. Icons have potential for multiple meanings
Predictive Selection - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔Icon prediction feature used with scanning
Predictive Scanning - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔predictive approach based on the frequency
with which certain letters follow others in English
Word Prediction and Word Completion - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔displays words or
phrases a user is typing based on what has already been typed
Fixed Predictive Devices - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔stored vocabulary that never changes -
very predictable and helps the user develop motor and cognitive patterns that make retrieval faster
,Adaptive Predictive Devices - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔change the order of words keeping
most frequently used words at the top of the list
Eye-Controlled Communication Systems - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔for people with severe
limb limitations but good eye and head control.
Keyguard - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔cover made of plexiglass or plastic that fits over a
keyboard for people who have difficulty pressing the right key or who produce extra movements as they
move key to key
Automatic Scanning - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔device presents available choices
continuously. Users must be able to wait for selection and activate accurately at the correct time
Step scanning - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔press switch to move from choice to choice. Must
active another switch or wait for acceptance time to elapse to choose. Motor fatigue has potential to be
high with this method
Inverse Scanning - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔User holds switch to scan, releases to select
Instructions - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔ATPs should provide written instructions for all
equipment and make sure it is accessible to client, cognitively and physically. Provide supplemental
instructions if necessary
Motor Skills Training Program (3 stages) - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔1. Activate switch and
associate switch with result
2. Activate switch at a certain time consistently
3. Increase array that the user can consistently select in order to improve scanning selection skills
HAAT - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔Human Activity/Assistive Technology Model
Human
Activity
, Assistive Technology
Context - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔Operator using AT system properly?
Does the system allow user to meet goals for activity?
Does the system bridge the gap between the skills the consumer has and the skills needed for the
activity?
Does the system perform in the physical, social, and cultural environment?
Follow-up versus Follow-along - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔Follow up = activities that occur
immediately after AT is installed
Follow-Along = activities that occur over a longer time span, often over a life-time
Scanning - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔Most common type of INDIRECT selection in which
consumer uses a switch to select option when highlighted
Directed Scanning - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔user initiates scanning process then selects
option with a joystick or other switch. This is the fastest indirect selection method
Acceptance Time - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔the length of time a user pauses at a choice
during directed scanning
Coded Access - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔selection method in which the user completes a
sequence of movements as a code for each item in a selection set
Spatial Characteristics of a Control Interface - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔size, shape, weight,
number of targets, size of targets, and amount of space between targets
Visual Perception - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔process of assigning meaning to visual input
Environmental Interface - correct answer <<<<<💕💕💕✔✔the part of the assistive device that
takes in information from the world (cameras and microphones are examples)
