TEXES 181 EVALUATION EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GRADED A+
✔✔unaided communication systems - ✔✔rely on the user's body to convey messages.
Examples include gestures, body language, and/or sign language.
✔✔Suprasegmentals - ✔✔Prosody of speech; length, stress, rate, pitch, volume, and
juncture (intonation and pausing)
✔✔Motherese - ✔✔infant-directed speech
✔✔Ling 6 sound test - ✔✔requires the student to respond to 6 different sounds that are
presented in an auditory manner.
✔✔Auditory-Verbal Therapy - ✔✔A means of providing intervention students with
hearing loss that focuses on early identification of hearing loss, amplification, and the
development of speaking skills through listening
✔✔auditory neuropathy - ✔✔disease or disorder affecting the function of the auditory
nerve; sound sensitivity may be normal or impaired; perception and understanding of
sound is usually significantly impaired
✔✔The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development - ✔✔developed for young
children between the ages of 1 month and 42 months. It relies on information that both
the child and the child's caretaker provide to discover developmental delays.
✔✔TERA-3 - ✔✔The TERA-3 assessment is an early reading test for young children.
The three subtests are alphabet, meaning, and conventions.
✔✔induction loop system - ✔✔a listening device that uses electromagnetic waves.
✔✔Cued speech - ✔✔Cued speech is a type of visual communication system that can
be used in the classroom. It combines mouth movements representing speech with
cues to create the sounds of verbal language. In English, there are 8 distinct hand
shapes that distinguish consonant phonemes. There are four places near the mouth
that are used to distinguish vowel phonemes. When combining a hand shape and a
mouth location together, a syllable is cued.
✔✔tympanic membrane (eardrum) - ✔✔The tympanic membrane is the eardrum. Sound
waves are directed to the Tympanic membrane by the auricle and external meatus. The
tympanic membrane vibrates, and sends the signal to the bones below.
✔✔Vocal tract - ✔✔resonates the air after it passes through the voice box and becomes
waves. The vocal tract includes the throat, oral cavity, and nasal cavity.
, ✔✔part of the vibratory system of the voice mechanism - ✔✔The voice box, or larynx,
alters the air pressure. It works with the epiglottis and vocal folds to create vibration and
change air to waves.
✔✔Alerting devices - ✔✔gain attention of of an individual by means of amplified sound,
flashing light or vibration
✔✔Acoustic highlighting - ✔✔when a talker changes duration, intensity, and pitch to
highlight a word or enhance the audibility of a message
✔✔saccule and utricle - ✔✔The vestibule contains the saccule and utricle which help
with equilibrium and balance.
✔✔vestibule - ✔✔used to connect the cochlea and semicircular canals.
✔✔Friedreich's ataxia - ✔✔Auditory neuropathy has no defined cause, but it has been
associated with Friedreich's ataxia. The hereditary condition causes nerve degeneration
that affects coordination and sensory function.
✔✔academic delay - ✔✔A 50 dB loss results in a 3 year delay. A 40 dB loss has a 2
year delay, and a 30 dB loss has a 1 year delay.
✔✔SCRIPT or Student Communication Repair Inventory and Practical Training -
✔✔helps discover which strategies students use to repair communication. This provides
teachers with the opportunity to guide students to the appropriate repair strategies.
✔✔Cued Speech - ✔✔a type of visual communication system that can be used in the
classroom. It combines mouth movements representing speech with cues to create the

✔✔Learning types - ✔✔vicarious, rote, mastery
✔✔Referral Placement Process - ✔✔1: pre-referral
2: referral
3: evaluation process (must use more than one test)
4: eligibility
5: IEP meeting
6: placement (where you provide services)
✔✔Stanford Achievement Test - ✔✔subsets are compared to the D/HH students
