Read the first 7 Assistive Technology Professional (RESNA) flashcards as text

  1. Which mounting consideration is most critical when positioning a AAC device on a wheelchair?

    Answer: Mounting height, angle, and stability to allow reliable access while maintaining visibility to partners

    Effective AAC mounting balances user access angle and reach with partner-facing display orientation while ensuring the mount is stable during mobility.

  2. Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act primarily requires accessibility from:

    Answer: Federal agencies and entities receiving federal funding

    Section 508 mandates that federal agencies make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities.

  3. A child with cerebral palsy has strong involuntary extensor tone. The BEST seating strategy to reduce extensor thrust is:

    Answer: Positioning hips in 90-degree flexion with a solid seat insert and appropriate foot support

    Proper hip flexion at 90 degrees with stable foot support reduces the stimulus for extensor thrust and promotes neutral postural alignment.

  4. When conducting a cognitive assessment for AT, which factor most directly impacts a user's ability to independently operate a complex AAC device?

    Answer: Symbolic understanding, memory, and executive function

    Cognitive abilities such as symbolic understanding, working memory, and executive function determine how complex an AT interface the user can manage independently.

  5. Which of the following is an example of AT for environmental control that benefits individuals with severe physical disabilities?

    Answer: Smart home hub controlled by switch, voice, or eye-gaze to operate lights and appliances

    Environmental control systems (ECS) allow individuals with severe physical limitations to independently manage home devices through alternative access methods.

  6. The RESNA Code of Ethics requires ATPs to maintain competency primarily by:

    Answer: Pursuing continuing education and staying current with evolving AT research and practice

    RESNA's Code of Ethics obligates ATPs to engage in ongoing professional development to maintain and expand competency as the AT field evolves.

  7. Which pressure mapping finding would most directly indicate need for a seat cushion upgrade for a full-time wheelchair user?

    Answer: Pressure peaks exceeding 200 mmHg over bony prominences

    High focal pressures (often cited above 100–200 mmHg) over bony prominences such as the ischial tuberosities significantly increase risk of pressure injuries.
