Question 1
Which task complements “Principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and
positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS)” when the shared
objective is “Behavioral Management and Intervention”?
A. Partnering effectively with parents, families, and culturally diverse communities to support
student progress and generalization of skills

brain injury, severe autism spectrum disorders, sensory impairments) on learning and
development
C. Strategies for fostering expressive and receptive communication, including Augmentative
and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems (both low-tech and high-tech)
D. Implementing positive behavior support plans, crisis prevention, and differential
reinforcement strategies (e.g., DRO, DRA, DRL)
Correct Answer: D
Full Explanation: Behavioral Management and Intervention: Implementing positive behavior
support plans, crisis prevention, and differential reinforcement strategies (e.g., DRO, DRA, DRL).
Behavioral Management and Intervention: Principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and
positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS). A: This describes “Collaboration and Family
Partnerships”, rather than the requested focus. B: This describes “Human Growth and
Development”, rather than the requested focus. C: This describes “Communication and Assistive
Technology”, rather than the requested focus.

Question 3
Among these proposed associations for “Legal, Ethical, and Professional
Standards”, “Medical and Health-Related Needs”, “Managing specialized health
care procedures in educational settings”, “Functional and Academic
Instruction”, which one is consistent? Pay particular attention to the role of
“Ethical considerations regarding the rights, dignity, self-determination, and
advocacy for individuals with severe and profound disabilities”.
A. Legal, Ethical, and Professional Standards — Managing specialized health care procedures in
educational settings (e.g., tube feeding, seizure management, positioning, and monitoring
vital medical equipment)
B. Legal, Ethical, and Professional Standards — Developing and delivering evidence-based
functional curricula tailored to daily living, self-help, motor development, and vocational
readiness
C. Legal, Ethical, and Professional Standards — tube feeding, seizure management, positioning,
and monitoring vital medical equipment
D. Legal, Ethical, and Professional Standards — Ethical considerations regarding the rights,
dignity, self-determination, and advocacy for individuals with severe and profound disabilities
Correct Answer: D
Full Explanation: Legal, Ethical, and Professional Standards: Ethical considerations regarding the
rights, dignity, self-determination, and advocacy for individuals with severe and profound
disabilities. A: This option instead describes the following different focus: Medical and
Health-Related Needs: Managing specialized health care procedures in educational settings (e.g.,
tube feeding, seizure management, positioning, and monitoring vital medical equipment). B: This
option instead describes the following different focus: Functional and Academic Instruction:
Developing and delivering evidence-based functional curricula tailored to daily living, self-help,
motor development, and vocational readiness. C: This option instead describes the following
different focus: Managing specialized health care procedures in educational settings: tube feeding,
seizure management, positioning, and monitoring vital medical equipment.

care procedures in educational settings”, “Legal, Ethical, and Professional
Standards”, “Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and Transition
Planning”, “Human Growth and Development”? Pay particular attention to the
role of “Designing proactive transition plans focused on post-school outcomes,
community integration, supported employment, and adult daily living”.
A. Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and Transition Planning — tube feeding, seizure
management, positioning, and monitoring vital medical equipment
B. Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and Transition Planning — Designing proactive
transition plans focused on post-school outcomes, community integration, supported
