Question 3

The transdisciplinary team approach incorporates all of the following, EXCEPT:
A)team members work collaboratively across individual discipline lines.
B)team members teach their skills to other team members.
C)there is a high degree of professional autonomy as each team member contributes according to their own specialty area.
D)this approach attempts to provide a more coordinated and unified approach to assessment and service delivery.

Accepted Answer

The transdisciplinary team approach is characterized by a high degree of professional collaboration and integration of knowledge and skills from different disciplines. It emphasizes shared decision-making and the blurring of traditional professional boundaries. Therefore, professional autonomy is not a characteristic of this approach.

Question 4

Families meeting with team members separately (e.g., one meeting with the teacher, another with the occupational therapist, another with the mobility specialist, etc.)is typical of which type of collaborative team?​
A)Multidisciplinary
B)Interdisciplinary
C)Transdisciplinary

Accepted Answer

Families meeting with team members separately is typical of a multidisciplinary approach, where team members work independently and share information with each other but do not necessarily work closely together to create a cohesive plan. In an interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary approach, team members work together and share information to create a comprehensive and integrated plan for the child.

Question 6

Indirect consultation is when:​
A)a teacher acquires information through extended family members rather than directly from parents.
B)teachers provide consultation without direct observation.
C)teachers phone home with information rather than scheduling a meeting.
D)another professional, service provider, or a parent assists the teachers by providing information or suggestions.

Accepted Answer

Indirect consultation refers to when another professional, service provider, or a parent assists teachers by providing information or suggestions. This can be helpful in gathering additional perspectives and insights into a student's behavior or academic performance.

Question 7

Today, parents should be viewed as:
A)adversaries to be avoided whenever possible.
B)collaborators and equal partners in their children's educations.
C)passive and uninvolved in their children's educations.
D)pushy and micromanaging regarding their children's educations.

Accepted Answer

Parents should be viewed as collaborators and equal partners in their children's educations. Research has shown that parental involvement in children's education has a positive impact on academic achievement and overall development. When parents are actively involved in their children's education, they can provide support, guidance, and encouragement, and also reinforce learning outside the classroom. It is important for teachers and schools to recognize the value of parental involvement and foster positive relationships with parents to promote student success.

Question 8

Which type of cooperative teaching arrangements is demonstrated in the following scenario? The lesson is divided into two or more segments, presented in different locations in the classroom. One teacher presents one portion of the lesson while the other provides a different portion, then the students rotate groups and the teachers give the lesson again to the new group.
A)Team teaching
B)Alternative teaching
C)Station teaching
D)Parallel teaching

Accepted Answer

The scenario described demonstrates station teaching, in which the lesson is divided into different segments presented in different locations in the classroom. The teachers rotate and present their portion of the lesson to each group. Team teaching is when two teachers present the lesson together. Alternative teaching is when one teacher provides instruction to a smaller group while the other teacher provides instruction to the rest of the class. Parallel teaching is when the class is divided into two groups and both teachers present the same content simultaneously.

Question 9

IDEA mandates the use of _____________________ teams.​
A)multidisciplinary
B)megadisciplinary
C)transdisciplinary
D)interdisciplinary

Accepted Answer

IDEA mandates the use of multidisciplinary teams.

Question 10

A potential disadvantage to using the ___________ cooperative teaching models is that the increased noise and activity levels in the classroom can pose problems.
A)alternative and station
B)station and parallel
C)team and parallel
D)parallel and alternative

Accepted Answer

The station and parallel cooperative teaching models involve multiple activities and conversations happening at the same time, which can result in increased noise and activity levels in the classroom. This can be a potential disadvantage for some students who may have a difficult time focusing under these conditions. However, these models can still be effective when implemented properly with good classroom management and clear expectations for student behavior.

Question 11

Cooperative teaching within an inclusive setting is currently considered:​
A)experimental.
B)a best practice.
C)too challenging to be carried out effectively.
D)an arrangement reserved for only the most experienced teachers.

Accepted Answer

Cooperative teaching within an inclusive setting is currently considered a best practice as it allows for collaboration between general education and special education teachers in meeting the needs of all students in the classroom. It is seen as a way to ensure that all students receive the individualized support they need to succeed in their learning.

Question 12

In order to develop meaningful collaborative relationships with parents who are culturally and linguistically diverse, professionals must:​
A)respect the family's interpretation of the disability and its origin.
B)provide research and information to help the family see past non-scientific religious and superstitious beliefs.
C)provide training on child-rearing according to the standards and practices of western culture.
D)use e-mail as the primary form of home-school communication.

Accepted Answer

Professionals must respect the family's interpretation of the disability and its origin as culture plays a huge role in how families understand and deal with disabilities. It is important to acknowledge and respect cultural beliefs and practices to build a collaborative relationship with families who are culturally and linguistically diverse. Providing training on child-rearing based on western standards or trying to change religious beliefs and superstitions will not build a meaningful relationship. Using email as the primary form of communication may not be feasible for families who do not have access to technology or are not proficient in using it.

Question 13

As opposed to parent participation, family involvement means participation by:​
A)any member of a family constellation.
B)mothers and fathers.
C)"blood relatives" only.
D)parents, grandparents, or nannies.

Accepted Answer

Family involvement refers to the participation of any member of a family constellation, which may include siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other relatives or caregivers. It is broader than parent participation, which suggests only the involvement of mothers and fathers. Furthermore, family involvement is not limited to "blood relatives" only or specific caregivers such as nannies.

Question 14

How parents respond to having a child with a disability:​
A)has little impact on the rest of the family.
B)can affect family dynamics and professional relationships.
C)depends on the ages of the parents.
D)depends on their parenting skills.

Accepted Answer

Having a child with a disability can affect family dynamics and professional relationships. It may require more time, resources, and emotional support to care for the child, which can impact the parents' relationships with each other and with others outside the family. The level of impact may vary depending on the unique circumstances of each family.

Question 15

Collaborative consultation is a voluntary,
A)open-ended, and passive process.
B)open-ended, and active decision-making process.
C)focused, and shared decision-making process.
D)open-ended, and shared decision-making process.

Accepted Answer

Collaborative consultation is a focused, and shared decision-making process where participants actively work together to solve problems or make decisions, emphasizing the purposeful and cooperative nature of the interaction.

Question 16

All of the following obstacles may hinder the meaningful involvement of individuals from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds in their child's education, EXCEPT:
A)previous negative experiences with schools.
B)limited language proficiency.
C)deference to teachers as the "expert."
D)lack of caring about their child's education.

Accepted Answer

Lack of caring about their child's education is not an obstacle that would hinder the meaningful involvement of individuals from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds in their child's education. The other three options, previous negative experiences with schools, limited language proficiency, and deference to teachers as the "expert," are common barriers to meaningful parent involvement.

Question 17

Most of the strategies and programs designed to encourage parental involvement are geared toward:​
A)all families.
B)African-American families.
C)middle- and upper-income English speaking families.
D)families who are culturally and linguistically diverse.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Most of the strategies and programs designed...

Question 18

Salend (2011)suggest that when parents are going through a roller coaster of emotions after finding out their child has a disability, teachers should do all of the following, EXCEPT:
A)be honest with them.
B)tell them you know exactly how they feel.
C)show genuine caring and compassion.
D)encourage them to obtain supportive services.

Accepted Answer

Teachers should not pretend to know exactly how the parents feel, as each family's situation is unique and personal. It is important for teachers to acknowledge the parents' emotions and provide support, but they should not falsely claim to fully understand the extent of their feelings.

Question 19

Friend and Cook (2010)identified six steps as a framework for problem solving. Which step involves the decision on how to reach a proposed goal?
A)Problem identification
B)Planning
C)Intervention
D)Evaluation

Accepted Answer

Planning involves the decision on how to reach a proposed goal through the development of a detailed plan, including the identification of necessary resources and potential obstacles.

Question 20

Effective collaborative consultation is much more than merely joint planning and problem solving because it involves:​
A)sharing resources and taking responsibility for your actions along with communication.
B)shared responsibility, resources, and accountability along with a willingness to appreciate other views and values.
C)shared accountability along with a willingness to agree with parents in the problem solving phase.
D)shared responsibility, resources, and a willingness to ensure everyone has an equal work load.

Accepted Answer

Effective collaborative consultation involves shared responsibility, resources, and accountability, as well as a willingness to appreciate other views and values. Joint planning and problem solving are important aspects, but there is much more to effective collaboration than just these activities. Shared accountability is also important, but it does not necessarily mean agreeing with parents in the problem solving phase. Ensuring everyone has an equal workload is not necessarily a requirement for effective collaboration, although it may be a desirable outcome.
