community resources, self-direction, functional academic skills, work, leisure,
health, safety
C. Onset before age 18
Reading Disorder - CORRECT ANSWER - A. Reading achievement, as
measured by individually administered standardized test of reading accuracy or
comprehension, is substantially below that expected given the person's
chronological age, measured intelligence, and age appropriate education.
B. Disturbance in A significantly interferes with academic achievement or
ADLs that require reading skills
C. If sensory deficit present, difficulties are in excess of those usually associated
with it
Mathematics Disorder - CORRECT ANSWER - A. Mathematical ability, as
measured by individually administered standardized tests of reading accuracy or
comprehension, is substantially below that expected given the person's
chronological age, measured intelligence, and age appropriate education.
B. Disturbance in A significantly interferes with academic achievement or
ADLs that require mathematical skills
C. If sensory deficit present, difficulties are in excess of those usually associated

substantially below expected for chronological age, measured intelligence and
age appropriate education
B. disturbance significantly interferes with academic achievement of ADL's
requiring composition of written texts
C. If sensory deficit present, difficulties are in excess of those usually associated
with it
Learning Disorder NOS - CORRECT ANSWER - Disorder s that do not meet
criteria in any specific learning disorder. Might include problems in all three
areas that together significantly interfere with academic achievement even
though performance on tests measuring each individual skill is not substantially
below what is expected for person's agew, measured intelligence, and age-
appropriate education
Developmental Coordination Disorder - CORRECT ANSWER - Performance
on daily activities that require coordination are below expectation for
age/intelligence level. Need to rule out general medical condition/mental
retardation
Expressive Language Disorder - CORRECT ANSWER - A. The scores
obtained from standardized individually administered measures of development
are substantially below those obtained from measures of both nonverbal
intellectual capacity and receptive language development. the disturbance may
be manifest clinically by symptoms that include a markedly limited vocabulary,
making errors in tense, or having difficulty recalling words, or producing
sentences with developmentally appropriate length or complexity
B. Difficutlies interfere with academic or occupational achievement or with
social communication
C. Criteria not met for Mixed Receptive-Expressive Language Dx or Pervasive
Developmental Disorder
Mixed Receptive-Expressive Language Disorder - CORRECT ANSWER - the
scores obtained from standardized individually administered measures of both
,receptive and expressive language development are substantially below those
obtained from measures of nonverbal intellectual capacity. symptoms include
difficulty understanding words, sentences, or specific types of words, such as
spatial terms
Phonolgical Disorder - CORRECT ANSWER - Failure to use developmentally
expected speech sounds that are appropriate for age and dialect (errors in sound
production, use, representation, or organization such as sustitutions of one
sound for another)
Stuttering - CORRECT ANSWER - Disturbance in the normal fluency and
time patterning of speech (inappropriate for the individual's age), characterized
by frequent occurrences of one or more of the following: sound and syllable
repetitions; sound prolongations; interjections; broken words; audible or silent
locking; circumlocutions (word substitutions); words pronounced with an
excess of physical tension; momsyllabic whole-word repetitions
Autistic Disorder - CORRECT ANSWER - Developmental disorder
characterized by qualitative impairments in social interaction, qualitative
impairments in communication, and restricted repetitive and stereotyped
patterns of behavior, intersts, and activities. Delays or abnormal functioning in
at least one of the following areas (social interaction, language as used in social
communication, or symbolic or imaginative play) prior to age 3
Rett's Disorder - CORRECT ANSWER - Apparently normal prenatal and
perinatal development, psychomotor development through first 5 months after
birth, normal head circumference at birth-
onset of following from 5 months to 4 years (deceleration of head growth, loss
of previously acquired hand skills and hand movements, loss of social
engagement, poorly coordinated trunk and gait movements, impaired expressive
and receptive language development with severe psychomotor retardation - only
reported in females
Childhood Disintegrative Disorder - CORRECT ANSWER - Onset 2-10 yrs of
age
, Skills acquired are completely lost in 2 of the following 6 areas: language skills;
receptive language skills; social skills and self-care skills; control over bowel
and bladder; play skills; motor skills
Lack of normal function also occurs in 2 of the 3 areas: social interaction;
communication; restrictive,repetitive, and stereotyped behavior and interest
pattern
Asperger's Disorder - CORRECT ANSWER - Severe and sustained
impairment in social interaction and the development of restricted, repetitive
patterns of behavior,interests,activities. Disturbance causes clinically significant
impairment in social, occupational, or other areas of functioning. No clinically
significant delays in language acquisition although more subtle aspects of social
communication may be affected. During first 3 years of life, there are no
clinically significant delays in cognitive development (express normal curiosity
about environment, have age-appropriate learning skills and adaptive behaviors
other than social interaction).
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder - CORRECT ANSWER - Symptoms
must have persisted for at least 6 months
Persistent pattern of inattention and /or hyperactivity-impulsivity that is more
frequently displayed and more severe than is typically observed in individuals at
a comparable level of development. Some symptoms have to have been present
before age 7. Some impairment from the symptoms must be present in at least
two settings (home, school, work). There must be clear evidence of interference
with developmentally appropriate social, academic, or occupational functioning.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder NOS - CORRECT ANSWER -
1.Meet criteria for ADHD, Predominately inattentive type but whose age at
onset is 7 years or after
2. Clinically significant impairment who present with inattention but whose
symptom pattern does not meet full criteria for disorder but have a behavioral
pattern marked by sluggishness, daydreaming, and hypoactivity
Conduct Disorder - CORRECT ANSWER - a repetitive and persistent pattern
of behavior in which the basic rights of others or major age-appropriate societal
