  1. A student with an IEP requires extended time on tests. Under IDEA, which team is responsible for determining this accommodation?

    Answer: The ARD/IEP committee

    The Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) committee, also known as the IEP team, is responsible for determining and documenting all accommodations and modifications.

  2. Which behavior intervention strategy involves reinforcing a student for NOT engaging in a challenging behavior during a set time interval?

    Answer: Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO)

    DRO provides reinforcement when the target challenging behavior does not occur during a specified time interval.

  3. A student with autism spectrum disorder struggles with transitions between activities. Which strategy is MOST likely to reduce transition-related anxiety?

    Answer: Visual schedules and advance warnings

    Visual schedules and advance warnings provide predictability, which significantly reduces anxiety around transitions for students with ASD.

  4. Under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, who qualifies for a 504 plan?

    Answer: Students with any physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity

    Section 504 covers any student with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, broader than IDEA's categories.

  5. A special education teacher is writing measurable annual goals for a student's IEP. Which goal is written MOST appropriately?

    Answer: Given a 4th-grade passage, the student will read 90 words per minute with 95% accuracy by May

    Measurable IEP goals must include conditions, behavior, and criteria — specifying the level, skill, measurement, and timeline.

  6. Which assessment approach is MOST appropriate for a student with limited English proficiency who is also suspected of having a learning disability?

    Answer: Use a nonverbal assessment and gather data in both languages

    Using nonverbal assessments and bilingual data collection ensures the evaluation measures ability rather than language proficiency.

  7. A student with emotional disturbance frequently disrupts class. The teacher should FIRST:

    Answer: Conduct a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) to identify the behavior's purpose

    An FBA identifies the antecedents, behaviors, and consequences to determine the function of behavior before developing an intervention plan.
