Exceptional Needs- Mild Intervention Exam 2022 (questions with all answers 100% correct)Describe some strategies and accommodations that teachers can use to ensure that
students with low vision or blindness have equal access to classroom content. -
✔✔When school assignments involve large amounts of reading, students with low
vision often experience eye fatigue and need to rest their eyes frequently. Teachers can
permit them breaks during class and/or given them extensions on due dates for reading
assignments. Teachers should ensure student access to alternative media formats like
Braille, audio recordings, or large print. Some students bring laptops or other
computerized devices with text to speech, large print, or Braille conversion software;
teachers should provide their teaching content in electronic formats for these students.
They should also discuss with them whether any websites the teacher uses as lesson
supplements are incompatible with student's special software, and consider adjusting
their curriculum to use compatible sites. Teachers should also keep classroom layout
consistent to facilitate student orientation and navigation. Teachers sharing classrooms
can try to enlist the other teachers' cooperation and assistance. Tactile and/or audio
rather than visual cues more effectively get these students' attention. Teachers can also
instruct other students to say their names before speaking during group discussion.
Summarize some evidence based strategies for teaching core concepts and content in
science according to state standards to disabled students, both in high school and
elementary grades. - ✔✔Recent educational research studies have shown that
teachers, when trained in a specific task analysis, could teach developmentally disabled
students to conduct science experiments. Some researchers have used graphic
organizers to teach science core content to students with autism in middle school.
Others taught science vocabulary and concepts to similar students using explicit
instruction of descriptors. And some have taught the steps of scientific inquiry lessons,
and science concepts that the learners generalized to new materials, to students with
moderate intellectual disabilities. Research has shown that time delay and similar
strategies for special educators to teach math and science vocabulary across multiple
academic content areas is effective with high school students having moderate and
severe developmental disabilities. Other researchers have recently investigated
teaching early science concepts and vocabulary to elementary school students with
severe DDs. They find even at lower ages/grades and more severe disabilities, students
learned comprehension of both scientific vocabulary and concepts, meeting the criteria
of state standards for progress through science lessons in the general education
curriculum.
Describe some classroom accommodations teachers can use to provide more structure
to students with disabilities who need support in exercising behavioral self control. -
✔✔In addition to posting lists of classroom rules and consequences for breaking them
and making sure all students know these, teachers can also make sure to supply
students with activities to pursue during free time periods. Students requiring structure
