A student with dyslexia is MOST likely to benefit from which of the following instructional approaches?
Answer: Explicit, systematic phonics instruction with multisensory components
Research supports explicit, systematic, multisensory phonics instruction (e.g., Orton-Gillingham) as the most effective approach for students with dyslexia.
Which of the following is an example of an accommodation (rather than a modification) for a student with a disability?
Answer: Allowing extended time on tests
Extended time is an accommodation because it changes how a student accesses the assessment without altering the content or expectations.
During the IEP process, a 'present level of academic achievement and functional performance' (PLAAFP) statement is used to:
Answer: Establish a baseline from which annual goals are developed
The PLAAFP provides a data-driven baseline of the student's current skills, which directly informs the development of measurable annual IEP goals.
Which behavior intervention strategy involves teaching a student a socially appropriate behavior that serves the same function as a problematic behavior?
Answer: Differential Reinforcement of Alternate Behavior (DRA)
DRA reinforces an alternative, appropriate behavior that achieves the same outcome for the student as the problem behavior, replacing it over time.
A Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) is conducted PRIMARILY to:
Answer: Identify the function or purpose a problem behavior serves for a student
An FBA analyzes antecedents, behaviors, and consequences to determine WHY a student engages in a problem behavior (its function), guiding intervention design.
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act differs from IDEA in that Section 504:
Answer: Covers a broader range of disabilities and does not require specialized instruction
Section 504 covers any condition that substantially limits a major life activity, offering accommodations without requiring the specialized instruction and funding structure of IDEA.
When a special education teacher uses task analysis, they are PRIMARILY:
Answer: Breaking a complex skill into smaller, sequential steps for instruction
Task analysis breaks a complex skill into discrete, sequential steps that can be taught and mastered one at a time, making it accessible for students with disabilities.
