Marcus, an 8-year-old boy with a specific learning disability (SLD), has difficulty with
learning addition and subtraction facts, simple word problems, and games that
require logical reasoning. Which of the following disorders is described above?
A. Dysgraphia
B. Dyslexia
C. Dyspraxia
D. Dyscalculia
Give this one a try later!
Option (D) is correct. This question tests knowledge of different learning
disabilities. This answer is correct because dyscalculia involves the inability
to understand the meaning of numbers and quantities. Students with
dyscalculia cannot understand basic operations of addition and
subtraction. They may not understand complex problems such as
multiplication, division, and more abstract problems. Because they do not
understand math concepts, they do not remember and cannot build on
them to master more complex problems.

stronger. Which of the following intelligences does the lesson address?
A.Auditory-musical
B.Visual-spatial
C.Intrapersonal
D.Naturalist
Give this one a try later!

the student acquire self-control through reflection and planning.
Randi is a 12 year old who scores within the average range for her age on a
standardized test but is significantly below grade level in reading and writing and is at
grade level in math. The profile is most consistent with a classification of
A.intellectual disability
B.specific learning disability
C.attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
D.autism spectrum disorder
Give this one a try later!
Correct Answer: B
Option (B) is correct. The question tests knowledge of the characteristics of
and the process of identifying disability categories. A discrepancy between

with a specific learning disability.
David is a fourth-grade student with a specific learning disability in reading. David has
just completed a set of reading assessments, and his scores indicate that he is reading
at an end-of-first-grade level. He demonstrates strengths in comprehension skills and
uses context clues to help him decode text. His reading fluency is determined to be
learning addition and subtraction facts, simple word problems, and games that
require logical reasoning. Which of the following disorders is described above?
