UPDATE
A special education teacher is summarizing the evaluation findings of a second-grade
student with a suspected intellectual disability. As part of the assessment, the teacher
administered a standardized assessment that is normed on a younger population of
students to obtain information about the student's developmental age-equivalency.
Which of the following strategies related to scoring the assessment would be most
appropriate in ensuring the accuracy of the information?
A. Using the highest chronological age presented in the manual to score assessment.
B. Presenting the findings descriptively without reporting standardized scores
C. Estimating the student's grade-level abilities based on performance on the test.
D. Converting the students raw scores into standardized scores and percentile ranks. -
Answer B.
*When an assessment is administered to student outside of the normed population, no
standard or scaled scores can be accurately calculated, but the information could still
be useful to demonstrate strengths and needs.
For which of the following purposes would a behavior frequency chart be used most
appropriately?
A. Identifying the reward that most effectively motivates the student.
B. Comparing a student's behavior with that of other students in the class.
C. Determining the appropriate intervention to address a student's behavior.
D. Establishing the baseline for a student's behavior - Answer D.
* Tracking how frequently a behavior occurs in various contexts is part of establishing
baseline and having a comparison to evaluate interventions.
Screening tools are best described as forms of assessment that have which of the
following characteristics?
A. They provide detailied information on exact supports a student requires.
B. They indicate when further assessment or intervention may be needed.
C. They inform school administrators about classroom achievement levels.
D. They provide data to support a referral for full educational evaluation. - Answer B.
,*Screening tools are intended to identify when a student is broadly achieving at or below
expectations in a content area and identify students who may need additional support or
assessment, but they do not provide detailed data or precise information on student
needs.
Which of the following communication strategies would be most appropriate for a
special education teacher to use when describing assessment results to family
members during an initial eligibility meeting?
A. asking family members what questions they have about assessment results before
discussing them.
B. providing a list of terms and definitions used in assessment reports for family
members to refer to during the meeting.
C. paraphrasing and summarizing they key information presented in the assessment
report
D. reading the assessment report aloud to the family to accurately present all
information included. - Answer C.
*This strategy ensures that assessment results are comprehensible to the family during
the meeting and does not put family members on the spot or assume they do not
understand.
After a functional behavior assessment(FBA) has been conducted an intervention team
meets to create a behavior intervention plan (BIP) for a student with an emotional
disability who has recently been demonstrating disruptive behavior that has not
responded to informal intervention approaches. The team begins the BIP by developing
short-term and long-term behavioral goals. A primary purpose of this step of goal
development is to:
A. identify which stakeholders should be involved in implementing the students
intervention.
B. determine the most effective and expedient way to eliminate the challenging behavior
and reinforce student compliance.
C. identify acceptable alternative that serve the same purpose as the challenging
behavior.
D. determine which preventative strategies would minimize the student's negative
behavior. - Answer C.
*Goals should focus on identifying replacement behaviors that will serve the same
function as the disruptive behaviors analyzed in the FBA. The FBA includes an analysis
of the function of the behavior, and the BIP seeks to provide the student with a more
functional alternative to meet the same need.
, Which of the following steps is required by federal law to be completed by a school
before determining that a middle school student who had been identified as having a
specific learning disability no longer meets the criteria for special education services?
A. changing from direct to indirect services as a preliminary decrease in service
provision
B. informing the parents/guardians in writing that the school has terminated services
C. trialing a period of time without services and documenting student performance.
D. requesting parental/ guardian consent to administer a full educational assessment. -
Answer D.
*Special education services are not allowed to be eliminated without administering an
assessment that demonstrates that the student no longer presents with a learning
disability based on comprehensive data from multiple sources and types of
assessments. The student's parent/guardian would need to consent to this evaluation.
An elementary school offers a weekly art class for all students. Early in the school year,
the art teacher asks the special education teacher to collaborate on modifying the
learning environment for a student who receives special education services and needs
support following multistep instructions. Which of the following strategies would best
address the student's needs?
A. creating a digital sequencing board for the student to use on their tablet.
B. seating the student close to the teacher for demonstrations of techniques
C. providing the supplies needed for each activity to the student ahead of time
D. reducing talking and ambient noise in the classroom during art activities. - Answer A.
*a student who has trouble following instructions required to complete are projects
would benefit most from a support that provides a visually presented order of actions to
be completed, which would facilitate greater independence for the student.
According to Illinois law, which of the following steps must occur prior to holding and
eligibility meeting for a student who has undergone a full educational evaluation for a
suspected learning disability?
A. Parent/guardians must request the meeting date and time in writing, and the school
must accommodate this request.
B. Parents/guardians must be provided with written copies of all reports and materials
that will be discussed at least three days prior to the meeting.
C. Parents/guardians must approve of a trial of services to determine needs prior to
presenting draft Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals at the meeting.
