1. An early childhood special education teacher is reviewing research on
child abuse and neglect. The most effective protective factor against child
maltreatment has been proven to be:
A. a supportive family environment and social networks.
B. two married parents or caregivers living together in the home.
C. large amounts of one-on-one time spent between the child and his or
her family.
D. a higher education level of the child's caregivers. ---------CORRECT
ANSWER-----------------A. a supportive family environment and social
networks.
-Protective factors are conditions or attributes in individuals, families,
communities, or the larger society that, when present, migrate or
eliminate risk in families. Research has shown that protective factors
are linked to a lower incidence of child abuse and neglect. Many
protective factors have been studied, but the one that has been
proven most reliable and effective is a supportive family environment
and social networks.
2. According to research, a baby's brain continues to develop after birth,
primarily because of:
A. sensory experiences.
B. environmental factors.
C. family history.
D. physical well-being. ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------A. sensory
experiences.
- An infants brain development is heavily dependent on sensory
experiences beginning immediately after birth. Touching, holding,
comforting, rocking, singing, and talking to a baby all provide
stimulation for brain development.

  1. A kindergarten teacher observes that during many of the free-play activities, two children with disabilities are often excluded and left to play by themselves. The kindergarten teacher conferences with the special education teacher to discuss ways to help all students interact more inclusively. Which of the following strategies would be most effective for achieving this goal? A. assigning different partners each day with the direction that they participate together in all activities B. videotaping a typical day and then showing it to the class to illustrate their exclusionary practices C. organizing a whole-group activity or game during the beginning of each free-play time D. providing opportunities for small-group activities with a set goal such as finishing a puzzle ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------C. organizing a whole-group activity or game during the beginning of each free-play time - Organizing a whole-group activity or game during the beginning of each free-play time will allow all of the children to participate, get to know one another better, and be more comfortable with one another. By modeling and encouraging positive social skills, behaviors, and language, the teacher should be gradually be able to release control of fee-play activities to children, once expectations have been established.
  2. A preschooler with dyspraxia would likely have the most difficulty with which of the following activities? A. sitting in a circle listening to a book being read B. putting a puzzle together or working with small objects C. retelling a story in front of the class D. drinking from a cup without spilling ---------CORRECT ANSWER----------- ------B. putting a puzzle together or working with small objects - Dyspraxia is a developmental disorder affecting fine and/or gross- motor coordination. Children diagnosed with dyspraxia have additional problems related to planning, organizing, and carrying out movements in the right order in everyday situations. A preschooler with dyspraxia would likely find putting a puzzle together quite difficult given the fine motor skills and motor planning needed to complete the task.
  1. Two five-year-old children in a prekindergarten class are reluctant to attempt new tasks, repeatedly telling the teacher they "can't do it" and asking the teacher to "do it for me." Which of the following responses by the teacher would likely be most effective for helping children develop attitudes of greater self confidence and motivation to learn? A. assigning the children extremely simple task and commending them for completion of the tasks B. telling the children that no matter how well they have preformed a task, they should feel proud of the work they have done C. having the children work together on tasks and encouraging them to help one another to be successful D. praising the children's ability when they succeed at a task and fostering effort and persistence at tasks they find challenging ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------D. praising the children's ability when they succeed at a task and fostering effort and persistence at tasks they find challenging - Children Who demonstrate learned helplessness expect not to be able to control outcomes. They typically attribute their failures to lack of ability and their successes to external factors (e.g., to luck). Researchers have recommended helping such children alter both their ability attributions (e.g., by telling them, "This is a lot like when you did. You can do this.") and their effort attributions (e.g., by telling them, "Keep trying, don't give up."). Research further suggest that encouraging children to focus on learning instead of on showing how well they can preform can be an effective teaching strategy.
  2. Two teachers are planning a learning environment for toddlers between one and two years of age. According to the theories of Erik Erickson, for children of this age it would be especially important to create an environment that reinforces the children's: A. ability to pay attention during group activities such as show-and-tell. B. recognition that familiar objects and people still exist when unseen. C. mastery of basic self-care skills such as toileting and feeding. D. desire to establish close relationships, including having a best friend. ---- -----CORRECT ANSWER-----------------C. mastery of basic self-care skills such as toileting and feeding.

- According to Ericksons psychosocial theories, toddlers face that developmental task of gaining a greater sense of personal control. For children of this age, learning to successfully accomplish tasks such as using the toilet independently and choosing what to eat helps them develop a sense of security and self-confidence, as opposed to feelings of insecurity and self-doubt

  1. Sarah is a three-year-old child who lives with her mother and one younger brother. Sarah's mother is unemployed and without extended family nearby. The family recently moved to a homeless shelter after losing their apartment. There is no predictable schedule for their days or nights. As a result of this situation, Sarah would most likely: A. experience adverse affects on her concentration and memory. B. have a greater chance of developing certain disorders such as asthma. C. experience in increase in her resilience and determination to succeed. D. have a greater understanding of the range of human emotions. --------- CORRECT ANSWER-----------------A. experience adverse affects on her concentration and memory. - Extensive research indicates that poverty has a wide range of negative effects on the physical well-being and mental health of children in various contexts at home, in school, and in their communities. Poverty has a particularly adverse affect on the academic outcomes of children, especially during early childhood. Chronic stress associated with living in poverty has been shown to adversely affect children's concentration and memory, which may impact their ability to learn.
  2. Which of the following is considered a developmentally appropriate practice (DAP) for preschool children? A. building upon what the child already knows B. using a prepackaged curriculum C. having rules and regulations posted in the classroom D. utilizing a pre-test score to drive instruction ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------A. building upon what the child already knows - According to the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Building upon what the child already knows, or

- a fine-motor impairment affects a child's ability to use small body movements, such as in the hand or wrist. Thus, drawing an illustration would be difficult or a child with fine-motor impairment.

  1. An early childhood special education teacher is working on expanding the communication skills of Esther, a six-month-old child who has not begun to coo or babble and rarely attempts to make any verbal sounds. Her pediatrician has found no physical reason for Esther's lack of verbal communication. Which of the following strategies would be most effective for this teacher to try with Esther? A. moving a colorful, noisy toy within Esther's visual range and giving it to her after she makes eye contact B. immersing Esther in sound by playing lively music or recorded stories in the background whenever she is awake C. arranging to have Esther participate in a weekly baby group so she has the opportunity to interact with other infants D. conversing with Esther about what is happening while changing her diapers, dressing, and feeding her ---------CORRECT ANSWER----------------
  • D. conversing with Esther about what is happening while changing her diapers, dressing, and feeding her - Babies will imitate sounds that they hear. Their favorite is the human voice, especially that of the mother or significant caregiver. Conversing with Esther throughout the day would be the best way to encourage her to imitate the sounds
  1. Which of the following would be the most effective assessment tool to use when determining a preschooler's letter recognition skills? A. checklist B. observation C. anecdotal record D. rubric ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------A. checklist - When assessing a preschooler's letter recognition skills, the easiest and most effective assessment tool would be the checklist because it involves answering a yes or no question. Does the child recognize the lower case letter a? Yes or no. An observation or anecdotal record would not be appropriate because interaction with the child is

necessary to find out what they know. A rubric is best used when there is more detail to the answer to the question or problem.

  1. At the beginning of the school year, a third-grade student scored below the benchmark on the universal screening assessment for reading fluency. Her teacher began collecting weekly progress monitoring data, which is shown in the graph below. After nine weeks, the school support team recommended Tier 2 interventions, which the child has been receiving for the last seven weeks. Next week, the support team will meet again to review the child's progress monitoring data. Which of the following recommendations will the support team most likely make based on the data provided? A. moving the child to Tier 1 B. moving the child to Tier 3 C. continuing Tier 2 interventions D. administering a new fluency assessment ---------CORRECT ANSWER---
  • -------------C. continuing Tier 2 interventions - Progress monitoring data indicates that while the performance level is currently below benchmark, the child is making adequate progress in the Tier 2 placement and should continue there until several data points are either above the goal line or her progress stalls.
  1. Ms. Malty teaches a class of three- and four-year-olds with global developmental delays. Throughout the year she complies work samples and drawings for each child and keeps them in a portfolio. This type assessment is most appropriate for which of the following purposes? A. to identify children who might benefit from extra help B. to monitor children's development and learning C. to report and communicate with others D. to guide classroom planning and decision making ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------B. to monitor children's development and learning - Young children at this age often progress gradually in small increments. Consistent progress may not always be observed right away. A child's performance can be compared with what he or she did on the same task a month ago, and the progress shown can be motivating for both the teacher and the child.

also pushes through. A child born with this type of spina bifida is likely to have hydrocephalus, an accumulation of fluid in and around the brain.

  1. Ashton is a five-year-old who has weakened bones associated with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). He has spent most of his time in the hospital or at home with his parents and older sisters. He recently began attending a general education kindergarten class in a wheelchair with the assistance of a paraprofessional. Ashton's physical condition will most likely affect his academic performance as a result of: A. restricted social interaction B. limited life experiences C. inexperience with classroom routines D. undeveloped attention span ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------B. limited life experiences - Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), or brittle bone disease, is a congenital disorder that results in fragile bones that break easily. This condition often limits a child's physical exploration as well as experiences in different locations and environments. Research indicates that early childhood experiences, including varied physical activities and gross- motor development, have a great impact on a child cognitive and literacy development.
  2. Five-year-old Silvio, a student with spina bifida, will be attending a general education preschool class in the upcoming year. Silvio uses a power wheelchair, which he propels independently. Which of the following issues would be especially important for Silvio's preschool teacher to be aware of in order to promote Silvio's health and physical wellbeing in the classroom? A. checking Silvio's wheelchair thoroughly for proper function on Monday of each week B. ensuring that Silvio's pressure-relief regimen is followed every day without fail C. isolating Silvio whenever one or more of his classmates shows any signs of illness

D. confirming each day that Silvio has been administered his required daily medications ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------B. ensuring that Silvio's pressure-relief regimen is followed every day without fail

- For individuals with spinal cord injuries, pressure relief is important to prevent skin breakdown due to constant pressure on one area. Pressure relief is necessary every 15-30 minutes. A child may be able to participate independently in pressure relief using vertical pushups, forward leans, lateral bends, and shifts. A teacher or paraprofessional may be needed to tilt the wheelchair backward to allow for a shift of weight for a short time for pressure relief.

  1. An early childhood special education teacher would like to incorporate technology in a reading program for Eliot, a kindergarten student with cerebral palsy, to support beginning skills in reading comprehension. Eliot has difficulty processing text visually, maintaining attention, and turning pages in a picture book. Which of the following types of technology would likely be the most effective to use with Eliot? A. an audio recording of printed text B. a stand-alone unit with optical character recognition C. a digital tablet that reads and highlights each word D. a desktop computer with a large color monitor ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------C. a digital tablet that reads and highlights each word - A digital tablet that reads aloud, highlights each word, and displays text and a picture would assist Eliot with tracking words and sentences as he follows along. Children with cerebral palsy may experience frustration in trying to track and later read text due to their motor weaknesses, which often affect visual motor ability. Digital tablets are lightweight and easy to hold and have clear displays that would likely help maintain Eliot's attention. Also, digital tablets can easily be mounted to a desk, table, or wheelchair, making them very portable and easy to use independently.
  2. When considering which environment is best for providing services for a young child with disabilities on an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP), it is important to:

routine's for those times when children have to make a transition from one lesson to another, or four times when they have to get or put away materials. Using schedules and routines can prevent behavior problems and create a proactive and positive learning environment.

  1. A kindergarten general education teacher is concerned about Ira, a child with an intellectual disability who is consistently interrupting and disturbing other children during math centers. Ira has been observed walking around the classroom, throwing materials, poking other children, and refusing to complete center activities. The teacher has been implementing the academic modifications and accommodations outlined in Ira's IEP, and has been working closely with his paraprofessional, but Ira's behaviors continue to occur daily. Which of the following steps should the special education teacher take first to address this situation? A. conducting a functional behavioral assessment with the IEP team B. observing Ira working on math assignments in the resource room for several weeks C. reconvening the IEP team to discuss increasing social special education services during math centers D. creating a behavior intervention ---------CORRECT ANSWER--------------- --A. conducting a functional behavioral assessment with the IEP team
  • A functional behavioral assessment is a systematic process to determine the underlying function or purpose of a particular behavior so that an intervention plan can be developed. In order to determine an appropriate strategy to address Ira's behavior, it is necessary to identify why he is engaging in the behavior. Research on positive behavior intervention and supports indicates a greater likelihood of success with behavioral intervention plans when they are developed after the analysis of a functional behavioral assessment.
  1. A special education teacher and a general education teacher co-teach a kindergarten class that includes several children with disabilities. At the beginning of the school year the teachers tell the class that when they want to communicate important information, one of the teachers will say, "One, two, three, eyes on me" and then wait for the children to respond, "One, two, eyes on you." The primary purpose of this strategy is to:

A. foster a collaborative learning community B. teach children to focus and pay attention C. model how to follow classroom rules D. promote receptive communication skills ---------CORRECT ANSWER----- ------------B. teach children to focus and pay attention

  • By teaching a simple rhyme to children at the beginning of the school year, the teachers help the children learn when they need to regain focus and listen for directions. The teachers will be able to use this rhyme throughout the school year as a consistent cue for children to pay attention to what the teachers have to say next.
  1. Josiah, a five-year-old child with an emotional impairment, is placed in a co-taught kindergarten class. Transition between activities are difficult for Josiah. He often reacts to them angrily, yelling or crying and refusing to stop what he is doing. Josiah's special education teacher has been helping him develop effective transitioning skills, and the parents have been reinforcing the skills at home. Which of the following additional strategies would likely be most effective for the early childhood special education teacher to use to help Josiah with this issue? A. permitting Josiah to choose between activities when he transitions cooperatively B. establishing a cue to alert Josiah a few minutes before transition times C. reminding Josiah each morning that he should expect transitions throughout the day D. imposing negative consequences whenever Josiah resists making transitions ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------B. establishing a cue to alert Josiah a few minutes before transition times
  • Transitions can be difficult for young children and are often especially difficult for children with emotional impairments. By establishing a special cue (verbal, nonverbal, auditory, or visual) for Josiah, he can begin to prepare himself for the end of one activity and the beginning of another. Cues can be used in coordination with positive reinforcement when the child appropriately participates in the transition and can be modified depending on the location or activity.
  1. Teachers who have a goal of developing and supporting a sense of achievement and competence among diverse groups of children should begin by considering which of the following questions? A. Do I allow differences in culture, language, and behavior to shape my perceptions about children's motivation and ability to learn? B. How frequently do I interact with individual children to make sure that I am meeting their learning needs? C. Am I consistent in providing an equal amount of time to each child, regardless of ability, language, and behavior? D. Have I clearly communicated my belief that the children are capable of mastering the targeted concepts and skills? ---------CORRECT ANSWER--- --------------A. Do I allow differences in culture, language, and behavior to shape my perceptions about children's motivation and ability to learn?
  • Preconceived ideas about the motivation and ability of children to learn that are based on children's languages, cultures, and behaviors present a significant barrier to providing equitable instruction. For example, these preconceived ideas may lead a teacher to have lower expectations for some groups of children. To develop and support a positive classroom climate that promotes learning, achievement, and competence, a teacher must view children as individuals who have unique assets and needs and provide instruction that is responsive to those assets and needs. Therefore, the most important first step for a teacher of diverse groups of children is to reflect on potential biases or misconceptions about children.
  1. Which of the following would be a factor to consider when creating an appropriate guidance and socialization environment for preschool children? A. developing a caring community of learners B. providing an adult-guided experience for all children C. ensuring that the children can recite the expected learning goal for each activity D. focusing the activities on keeping the children in their work areas --------- CORRECT ANSWER-----------------A. developing a caring community of learners
  • According to the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), creating a caring community of learners ensures that each child feels safe and secure in the learning environment where he or she will be able to socialize and self-regulate. An adult-guided experience does not

allow children to choose learning activity stations and reduces creativity and learning.

  1. Three children who are English Language Learners will soon be joining Ms. Summer's pre kindergarten special education class. The children are identified as developmentally delayed. Ms. Summers takes several steps in preparation for the children's arrival. She begins learning key phrases in the children's first language that will be relevant to their needs and activities at school. She also creates labels in their first language to place beside the English labels posted around the classroom, and she acquires books in the children's first language for the classroom library. Ms. Summers's actions best reflect an awareness of the principle that: A. English Language Learners' continued development in their first language supports their acquisition of English B. English Language Learners' understanding of academic concepts in their first language leads proficiency in academic English. C. authentic experiences with mult ---------CORRECT ANSWER--------------- --A. English Language Learners' continued development in their first language supports their acquisition of English
  • Research has consistently shown that English Language Learners' acquisition of English is benefitted by the children's continued development in their first language A child's understanding of what language is and how it works increases through his or her development in the first language. The child is able to transfer this knowledge to the task of learning English. The early childhood special education teacher's actions in supporting the children's first language development reflect a clear understanding of the research and best practices in language development.
  1. A special education teacher has been teaching a second-grade student strategies for reducing the child's negative language towards others. Which of the following would be the most appropriate feedback for the teacher to give the child on a day when the child has used the strategies successfully? A. "I am very happy with your improvement in communicating appropriately with others."
  1. Clancy is four years old and has a developmental disability. The preschool teacher notices that anytime she asks Clancy a question such as, "Would you like to play in the water area?", Clancy always responds with "No." Clancy also becomes easily overwhelmed with the many varieties in the classroom. He typically sits alone, unsure of what to do next. Which of the following strategies should the teacher use to encourage Clancy to engage in classroom activities? A. giving Clancy directions such as, "I think it's time for you to play in the block center." B. allowing Clancy to stay at one special area throughout independent center time C. offering Clancy a choice such as, "Which center would you like to do now? The plaint or the block center?" D. providing Clancy time to begin to pursue his own interests at his own pace ---------CORRECT ANSWER-----------------C. offering Clancy a choice such as, "Which center would you like to do now? The plaint or the block center?"
  • Offering a young child a choice is one of the first steps in developing a sense of autonomy. Children who do not develop a sense of autonomy are more likely to be dependent on others and overly influenced by peers. Autonomy also builds cognitive functioning skills such as cause-effect, problem-solving skills, and critical thinking.
  1. A kindergarten student with Down syndrome has begun sweeping objects off his desk and any other surface he passes and then laughing. When his early childhood special education teacher asks why he is doing this, the child replies, "It is funny." The teacher has explained verbally and through the use of a social storybook why this behavior is not appropriate. Which of the following strategies would be most effective for his teacher to use next? A. communicating that the child must pick up the objects himself and cannot move to a preferred activity until it is done B. modeling picking up the objects for him and having a coworker comment on how much better they look where they belong C. monitoring the child's arms, hands, and general manner to avoid the situation before it occurs

D. arranging a lunch group with several staff and peers to discuss how everyone feels when personal things are pushed onto the floor --------- CORRECT ANSWER-----------------A. communicating that the child must pick up the objects himself and cannot move to a preferred activity until it is done

  • Having the child pick up the items that were purposefully knocked to the floor is a natural consequence of the action. The items need to be placed in their original location. Taking the time to do this instead of moving on to a preferred activity will most likely make the action less entertaining and eventually diminish or eliminate it.
  1. Bobby is a seven-year-old boy enrolled in second grade. He speaks clearly and has a large vocabulary compared to his peers. Bobby has difficulty relating information in conversation (e.g., turn taking), telling stories in a sequential manner, and interpreting nonverbal cues during conversation. Which of the following intervention strategies would be most effective for addressing Bobby's pragmatic communication skills? A. using social stories and scripts to practice in responses during peer interactions B. teaching concentration skills, the following of rules, self-management, and organization skills C. employing linguistic-scaffolding techniques to ensure that Bobby has a way to appropriately express his needs and wants D. teach turn taking through board games, hitting a balloon back and forth, telephone conversations, or bouncing a ball back and forth --------- CORRECT ANSWER-----------------A. using social stories and scripts to practice in responses during peer interactions
  • Children with pragmatic language difficulties may be unable to vary their language use to meet situational requirements, may relate information or stories in a disorganized way, or may say inappropriate or off topic things during conversation. A child with this disorder will have difficulty following the ordinary social rules of communication. Role-play activities can help children with pragmatic communication disorders understand appropriate language use in a variety of settings and situations.
