✍️ Sample ATP Questions & Answers
1. In test development, what is a 'pilot test'?
A pilot test is a preliminary administration of items to collect statistical data before they are used operationally.
2. The ICF is an international system for classifying functioning, disability, and health.
The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is a framework developed by the World Health Organization (WHO). It provides a standard language and framework for describing health and health-related states, focusing on functioning and disability in relation to body functions, activities, and participation, rather than solely on disease.
3. Grants to states for DD councils, academic programs, protection and advocacy for people with DD, and AT for people with DD.
The Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act is a federal law that provides funding and support for individuals with developmental disabilities. It specifically authorizes grants to states for various programs, including Developmental Disabilities Councils, university-affiliated programs, protection and advocacy systems, and initiatives related to assistive technology for people with developmental disabilities.
4. Which of the following does not constitute a method for gauging user satisfaction as a success factor for assistive technology use?
The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) is a widely used assessment tool that measures a person's level of independence in performing daily activities. While it assesses functional outcomes, it does not directly gauge user satisfaction with assistive technology. COPM (Canadian Occupational Performance Measure) and QUEST (Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology) are specific tools designed to measure satisfaction, and assistive technology abandonment is a clear indicator of dissatisfaction.
5. What is 'content domain' in the context of test specifications?
A content domain is the defined scope of knowledge, skills, or abilities that a test is intended to assess.
6. Alternative keyboards for natural selection include the following, with the following exceptions:
Natural selection keyboards allow direct input, such as expanded keyboards for users with limited fine motor control, or touch screens/tablets and tongue touch keypads for alternative input methods. A Row Column Scanning Matrix, however, is a method used for indirect selection, typically with a single switch, where the user scans through options rather than directly selecting them.
