Answers True
T or F: Early signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are lack of shared attention and decreased use
of gestures such as pointing, waving, or reaching for others. - Answers True
T or F: Fetal alcohol syndrome is a condition that affects only the brain and central nervous system
with limited impacts on a child's behavioral skills. - Answers False
T or F: Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a neurological speech sound disorder that affects a child's
ability to program and plan voluntary movements for speech. - Answers True
T or F: Children with CAS typically have reduced receptive and expressive language skills, and poor
intent or desire to communicate. - Answers False
T or F: Angleman Syndrome, Fragile X Syndrome, and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome are all genetic disorders
that can cause developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, and behavioral challenges in children. -
Answers False

because an Autistic child has very strong verbal communication skills and is likely to have more words.
- Answers False
T or F: Children with Down Syndrome are likely to have other health conditions such as heart
problems, hearing loss, and eye disease. - Answers True
T or F: Children with ASD have deficits in understanding symbols, resulting in difficulties using
standard meanings of words, but they compensate with effective use of gestures to communicate. -
Answers False
