Question 1
A high school student with a specific learning disability in reading
comprehension is able to decode text at grade level but struggles to answer
inferential questions. Which of the following instructional strategies is most
likely to directly address this student’s specific deficit?
A) Providing a list of vocabulary words with definitions before reading
B) Teaching the student to use a graphic organizer to map story elements and
character motivations
C) Allowing the student to listen to an audio recording of the text while
following along
D) Reducing the length of the reading assignments
Answer: B.
Rationale: Inferential comprehension requires the reader to connect textual clues
with background knowledge. A graphic organizer for story elements and character
motivations visually scaffolds the process of making inferences. Options A and C
,address vocabulary and decoding/listening comprehension, not inferential thinking.
Option D reduces the workload but does not teach the skill.
Question 2
According to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which of
the following is a required component of a student’s Individualized Education
Program (IEP)?
A) A detailed medical history and diagnosis from a physician
B) A statement of the student’s present levels of academic achievement and
functional performance
C) A guarantee that the student will be placed in a general education
classroom full-time
D) A list of all related services the student might need in the future, regardless
of current need
Answer: B.
Rationale: IDEA mandates that every IEP include a statement of the student’s
present levels of academic achievement and functional performance (PLAAFP). This
forms the basis for all goals and services. Medical histories are not required, full-
time general education placement is not guaranteed, and services must be based on
current need.
Question 3
A student with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibits difficulty with
transitions between class periods, often resulting in verbal outbursts. What is
the most appropriate antecedent-based intervention?
,A) Providing a five-minute warning before the transition and using a visual
schedule
B) Allowing the student to leave class five minutes early to avoid crowds
C) Implementing a consequence where the student loses recess time for each
outburst
D) Ignoring the behavior to avoid reinforcing it with attention
Answer: A.
Rationale: Antecedent-based interventions modify the environment to prevent
challenging behaviors. A visual schedule and warning provide predictability, which
reduces anxiety for many students with ASD. Leaving early (B) may be a reasonable
accommodation but does not teach the student to manage transitions. Punishment
(C) and ignoring (D) are reactive and less effective for proactive skill-building.
Question 4
In the context of response to intervention (RTI), Tier 2 instruction is
characterized by which of the following?
A) Core, evidence-based instruction delivered to all students in the general
education setting
B) Intensive, individualized instruction typically delivered in a one-on-one
setting
C) Targeted, small-group instruction for students who are not making adequate
progress in Tier 1
D) A comprehensive evaluation to determine eligibility for special education
services
, Answer: C.
Rationale: RTI is a multi-tiered system of support. Tier 1 is universal instruction.
Tier 2 provides targeted, small-group interventions for students who need more
support than Tier 1 but do not require the most intensive services. Tier 3 is more
intensive and individualized. D describes the evaluation process, not a tier of
instruction.
Question 5
Which of the following is the most appropriate example of a measurable
annual goal for a middle school student with an emotional/behavioral disorder
(EBD)?
A) The student will improve his behavior in the classroom.
B) The student will feel less angry during social studies.
C) The student will increase his on-task behavior from 60% to 80% of intervals
measured over three consecutive weekly probes.
D) The student will be a better classmate and follow the teacher's directions.
Answer: C.
Rationale: Measurable goals must be specific, observable, and include baseline data,
target, and criteria. C provides all these elements. A and D are vague and subjective.
B is not observable or measurable, as it focuses on internal feelings.
Question 6
A student with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) has difficulty with short-term
memory and organization. Which of the following assistive technology tools
would be most beneficial for this student to manage daily assignments?
