GACE Special Education General Curriculum - 1,
GACE - general special education Study Guide
dysgraphia - ✔️✔️brain-based disorder in which written expression is impaired: listed
under IDEA as a "specific learning disability"
dyscalculia - ✔️✔️disability with mathematical problems: numerical sense, equations,
identifying numbers, etc
"Defines a range of difficulties in math, such as the inability to understand numbers'
meanings, measurements, patterns, mathematical terms and the application of
mathematical principals. Early cues include a young child's inability to group items by
size or color, recognize patterns or understand the meaning or order of numbers."
accommodations - ✔️✔️changes in HOW students learn and are assessed
Modifications - ✔️✔️changes in WHAT students are expected to learn
IEP section 504 - ✔️✔️NON-IEP STUDENTS--- have other disabilities, i.e. physical,
ADHD, ADD, etc.
Requires schools to supply accommodations for all students with disabilities even if they
don't have IEPs
Cerebral palsy - ✔️✔️umbrella term that groups neurological childhood disorders that
affect muscular control; does not worsen over time and cause is located in damaged
areas of the brain that control muscle movement
response to intervention (RTI) - ✔️✔️a strategy for diagnosing learning disabilities in
which a student with an academic delay receives research supported interventions to

correct the delay. If the interventions do not result in considerable academic
improvement, the failure to respond suggests casual learning disabilities.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) - ✔️✔️Children and adults with_______ typically
engage in a series of highly ritualized behaviors that are rigidly performed when they
feel stressed. Behaviors include tapping, snapping fingers, blinking, counting and so
forth.
diabetic hypoglycemia - ✔️✔️AKA insulin reaction or insulin shock
Occurs when blood sugar falls to a very low level (failure to take insulin or eat often
enough). It is important to treat it quickly or the diabetic could faint, in which case an
injection of glucagon is administered.
Pervasive Spectrum Disorders (PSD) - ✔️✔️Another name for Autism Spectrum
Disorders (ASD). PSD causes disabilities in language, thought, emotion, and empathy.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - ✔️✔️Often a myriad of symptoms including:
disorganization, easily distracted and frustrated, defensive, immature, impulsive, often
interrupts conversations and hyperactive behaviors.
Test of Silent Contextual Reading Fluency - ✔️✔️Presents a student with a string of
words with no spaces in-between. The student must use dashes to separate the words.
E.g.,
Thesmalldogherdedthefluffysheepintothebarn.
The/small/dog/herded/the/fluffy/sheep/into/the/barn.
The more words a student separates, the higher the silent reading fluency score.

Oral Reading Fluency assessment (ORF) - ✔️✔️AKA Curriculum-Based Measurement
(CBM)
One-minute assessment in which a student reads a grade-level text aloud. Test
supervisor notes errors the reader doesn't self-correct and the number of words read
correctly.
phonological awareness - ✔️✔️the understanding of the sounds within a spoken word;
contributes to fluid reading skills
Frustration reading level - ✔️✔️less than 90% accuracy in word recognition and less than
50% accuracy in comprehension, retelling a story is illogical or incomplete and the
student cannot accurately answer questions about the text. Student is unable to unlock
meaning from a text regardless of teacher support or strategies.
orthography - ✔️✔️the conventional spelling system of a language
cultural load - ✔️✔️concerned with how the relationship between language and culture
can help or hinder learning.
Bilingual Support Model - ✔️✔️bilingual paraprofessionals + English-speaking special
educators to assist with the IEP implementation
4 types of Bilingual Special Education Instructional Delivery Models - ✔️✔️-Bilingual
Support model
-Coordinated services model
-Integrated bilingual special education
-Bilingual special education model.
Coordinated services model - ✔️✔️IEP team consists of an English speaking special
education teacher + bilingual educator. (model of bilingual special education delivery
model)

Integrated Bilingual Special Education Model - ✔️✔️Applied in districts with bilingual
special educator teachers who can give instruction in the native language, English as
Second Language (ESL) training and transition assistance as the student gains
proficiency. (type of bilingual special education delivery model)
Bilingual Special Education model - ✔️✔️-integrates all school personnel who focus on
bilingual special education instruction and services// all professionals have been trained
in bilingual special education
-(type of bilingual special education delivery service model)
IDEA required members of an IEP team - ✔️✔️-Regular Ed teacher
-Special Ed teacher
-Parent/guardian,
-Rep. of local education agency knowledgeable about specialized instruction
-Student if appropriate and other people invited by the parents or school.
Cloze test - ✔️✔️evaluates a student's understanding of context and vocabulary//
presents the reader with a text in which certain words are blocked out, reader must
determine probable missing words based on context clues// in order to supply the
words, reader must already know them
letter-sound correspondence - ✔️✔️the relationship between a spoken sound and the
letters predictably used in English to transcribe them
Maze test - ✔️✔️related to Cloze test// supplies a number of possible answers and the
reader must select the correct one
Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) - ✔️✔️a group of four reading strategies that
students with learning disabilities can use to decipher and understand texts//
