Question 1

Which intervention approach uses naturalistic teaching procedures embedded in play routines to facilitate expressive language in toddlers?

Accepted Answer

Milieu teaching

Answer

Milieu teaching embeds language targets in natural interactions and play routines, using techniques like mand-model, time delay, and incidental teaching.

Question 2

An adult with traumatic brain injury has intact phonology and syntax but produces verbose, tangential discourse with poor cohesion. The primary deficit is in:

Accepted Answer

Discourse-level language organization

Answer

Difficulty organizing discourse coherently (staying on topic, maintaining cohesion) reflects a discourse-level expressive language deficit, common after TBI.

Question 3

A clinician uses dynamic assessment with graduated cueing to determine a child's 'zone of proximal development' for language. What is the PRIMARY goal of this approach?

Accepted Answer

Identify how much support is needed for the child to succeed

Answer

Dynamic assessment measures response to intervention cues to identify learning potential and the level of support needed, rather than static performance alone.

Question 4

A preschooler demonstrates comprehension of spatial prepositions (in, on, under) but not temporal language (before, after, first). This pattern is consistent with:

Accepted Answer

Normal developmental sequence

Answer

Spatial prepositions are acquired before temporal conjunctions in typical development, so this pattern reflects normal developmental sequencing.

Question 5

Which of the following best represents a 'word finding difficulty' as distinct from a vocabulary deficit?

Accepted Answer

A child knows a word but struggles to retrieve it on demand

Answer

Word-finding difficulty is characterized by knowing a word (demonstrable through recognition) but failing to retrieve it for expressive use on demand.
