  1. Which instructional strategy involves breaking a complex skill into smaller sequential steps taught individually until mastered?

  3. Under IDEA's Child Find mandate, which students must be identified?

    Answer: All children with disabilities from birth through age 21, including those in private schools and home-schooled

    Child Find requires states to identify, locate, and evaluate ALL children with disabilities from birth through age 21, regardless of educational setting.

  4. A student demonstrates consistent off-task behavior during independent work. Which data collection method would BEST capture the frequency of this behavior?

    Answer: Event recording (frequency count)

    Event recording counts each discrete instance of a behavior, making it ideal for measuring how often off-task behavior occurs.

    Answer: Low-tech AAC system

    Low-tech AAC systems include picture boards, communication books, and alphabet boards — they require no battery or electronic components.

  7. A student with ADHD is having difficulty staying focused during large-group instruction. Which evidence-based environmental modification would be MOST helpful?
