,Question 1:
What was Public Law 94-142, later renamed the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
(IDEA), designed to guarantee for all children with disabilities?
A) A separate and specialized curriculum
B) A free appropriate public education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment (LRE)
C) Automatic placement in special education classrooms
D) Exemption from all standardized testing
Correct Answer: B
PL 94-142, enacted in 1975 and later renamed IDEA, guaranteed a free appropriate public
education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment (LRE) for all children with disabilities.
The law also mandated individualized education programs (IEPs) for eligible students. Options
A, C, and D are incorrect as IDEA does not require separate curricula, automatic special
education placement, or exemption from testing—rather, it requires access to the general
curriculum with appropriate supports.
Question 2:
What is the primary purpose of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)?
A) To provide funding for gifted education programs
B) To guarantee that all children, regardless of disabilities, have the right to a free and
appropriate public education
C) To mandate standardized testing for all students
D) To eliminate special education services in public schools
Correct Answer: B
IDEA ensures that schools provide special education services tailored to each student's
individual needs at no cost to families. The law also prepares students with disabilities for
further education, employment, and independent living. IDEA is not for gifted education (A),
does not mandate standardized testing (C), and certainly does not eliminate special education
(D).
Question 3:
Under IDEA, how many specific eligibility categories must a student's condition fall within to
qualify for special education services?
,A) 10
B) 11
C) 12
D) 13
Correct Answer: D
IDEA recognizes 13 specific disability categories, including autism, intellectual disability,
emotional disturbance, other health impairment (OHI), specific learning disability, speech or
language impairment, and others. For a student to qualify, their disability must adversely impact
their educational performance. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the
federal standard.

Question 4:
What does FAPE stand for, and what does it guarantee under IDEA?
A) Free Appropriate Public Education; it guarantees students with disabilities can access
educational services tailored to their needs without incurring costs
B) Fair Assessment of Public Education; it guarantees standardized testing accommodations
C) Federal Assistance for Private Education; it guarantees funding for private school placement
D) Full Access to Public Extracurriculars; it guarantees participation in sports
Correct Answer: A
FAPE is one of the six core principles of IDEA. It ensures that schools have the fundamental
obligation to provide individualized services that meet the unique needs of each eligible student
with a disability at no cost to the parent. Options B, C, and D are incorrect definitions of FAPE.
Question 5:
What is the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) principle under IDEA?
A) Students with disabilities must be educated in separate special education classrooms
B) Students with disabilities must be educated alongside their non-disabled peers to the
maximum extent appropriate
C) Students with disabilities must be educated at home
D) Students with disabilities must be educated in the most restrictive setting possible
, Correct Answer: B
LRE requires that students with disabilities be removed from the general education environment
only when the nature or severity of their disability prevents them from receiving satisfactory
education even with supplementary aids and services. The continuum of LRE options includes
general education with support, partial mainstream/inclusion, special education classrooms, and
specialized outside programs. Options A, C, and D directly contradict the LRE principle.
Question 6:
Which of the following is an accurate statement regarding how Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act differs from IDEA?
A) Section 504 is a special education law; IDEA is a civil rights law
B) Section 504 is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination; IDEA is a special education law
that provides funding for services
C) Section 504 only applies to students with the most severe disabilities
D) IDEA has a broader definition of disability than Section 504
Correct Answer: B
Section 504 is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities
in programs receiving federal funds. IDEA is a special education law that provides federal
funding and mandates specific services. Section 504 has a broader definition of disability
compared to IDEA's 13 categories. Students who do not qualify for IEPs may still receive 504
Plans providing accommodations. Option A reverses the definitions, C is incorrect, and D is
false.

Question 7:
What is the primary difference between an IEP and a 504 Plan?
A) IEPs are for students with disabilities who require specialized instruction; 504 Plans provide
accommodations for students with disabilities who do not require specialized instruction
B) IEPs are for students with physical disabilities only; 504 Plans are for students with learning
disabilities only
C) IEPs are developed by parents only; 504 Plans are developed by teachers only
D) There is no difference; they are interchangeable terms
