Question 1

Which of the following statements about TBI is true?
A)The IEP should focus on long-term as well as short-term goals.
B)The teacher should focus primarily on helping the students recover social skills as they are most critical to academic and social progress.
C)The teacher should discourage the use of alternative strategies,such as using organizational and memory aids,which could become a crutch.
D)The IEP should be initially developed for achievement over 6 months to a year.

Accepted Answer

The IEP should address both short-term and long-term goals to ensure that the student's needs are being met over time.

Answer: None of the other statements are true. 
 The teacher should focus on helping the student recover necessary academic skills and should encourage the use of alternative strategies, such as memory aids, to support the student's success. Additionally, IEPs should be developed with a focus on long-term achievement and adjusted regularly as needed.

Question 2

The greatest complicating factor in most students' return to school following TBI is
A)social skills.
B)physical appearance.
C)physical strength.
D)language or speech disorders.

Accepted Answer

Language or speech disorders are the most common complicating factor in students' return to school following TBI, as they can affect communication skills, comprehension, and academic performance. Social skills and physical strength may also be affected, but they are secondary to language and speech deficits. Physical appearance is generally not a significant factor in returning to school after TBI.

Question 3

Each of the following is a feature of definitions of TBI EXCEPT
A)injury to the brain can be caused by a degenerative or congenital condition.
B)injury to the brain is caused by an external force.
C)there is a diminished or altered state of consciousness.
D)neurological or neurobehavioural dysfunction results from the injury.

Accepted Answer

All definitions of TBI typically involve injury to the brain caused by an external force, resulting in some form of neurological or neurobehavioral dysfunction, and a diminished or altered state of consciousness. However, TBI is not typically caused by degenerative or congenital conditions, which would be classified as a different type of neurological disorder.

Question 4

Carl was three years old when he acquired TBI.Which of the following was the most likely cause of his brain injury?
A)He was accidentally shot by a playmate when showing off his father's gun.
B)He was violently shaken by a babysitter.

The answer of Carl was three years old when he...

Question 5

Each of the following characteristics are essential features of appropriate education for students with TBI EXCEPT
A)emphasis on catching up to academic content,rather than spending time trying to develop basic cognitive skills.
B)assistance with transition from a hospital or rehabilitation centre to the school.
C)educational procedures to help solve problems in focusing and sustaining attention for long periods.
D)an IEP concerned with cognitive,social/behavioural,and sensory-motor domains.

Accepted Answer

Emphasis on catching up to academic content, rather than spending time trying to develop basic cognitive skills is not an essential feature of appropriate education for students with TBI. In fact, developing basic cognitive skills is often a crucial component of their education.

Question 6

By high school graduation,what percent of students are likely to have TBI?
A)0.5%
B)0.4%
C)4%
D)8%

Accepted Answer

According to CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), around 4% of high school students are likely to have experienced a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that caused them to miss at least one day of school or other usual daily activities due to symptoms. Therefore, the best choice is C.

Question 7

Characteristics of TBI that may make social interactions difficult include all of the following EXCEPT
A)it's invisible nature.
B)aggression.
C)irritability.
D)physical deformation.

Accepted Answer

Physical deformation is not a characteristic of TBI that directly affects social interactions. The other options, such as TBI being an invisible injury and causing aggression and irritability, can all impact social interactions.

Question 8

After age 5,and increasingly through adolescence,the primary cause of TBI is
A)assaults.
B)accidental falls.
C)vehicular accidents.
D)gunshot wounds.

Accepted Answer

As children grow older and become more mobile, their exposure to vehicular accidents increases, making it the primary cause of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) beyond the age of 5 and through adolescence. This is due to increased participation in activities involving vehicles (bikes, cars) and higher risk behaviors.

Question 9

Each of the following statements about the outcomes for individuals with deaf-blindness is true EXCEPT
A)all interactions with adults and the environment should be viewed as learning opportunities.
B)the quality and intensity of instruction the person receives is critical.
C)the more severe the impairments,the greater the impact on a person's ability to adapt.
D)given their exceptionalities,these individuals are likely to experience a poor quality of life.

Accepted Answer

This statement is actually false. While individuals with deaf-blindness may face unique challenges and require specialized support, they are certainly capable of living happy and fulfilling lives. It is important to recognize their strengths and abilities, and to provide them with the tools and resources they need to succeed.

Question 10

An inherited syndrome of deaf-blindness characterized by hearing loss and retinitis pigmentosa,resulting in night blindness and tunnel vision is
A)Usher syndrome.
B)Asperger syndrome.
C)Down syndrome.
D)CHARGE syndrome.

Accepted Answer

The syndrome described is characteristic of Usher syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects both hearing and vision. It is caused by mutations in genes that are necessary for the normal development and function of the inner ear and retina, leading to hearing loss and progressive degeneration of the retina, resulting in retinitis pigmentosa. The symptoms typically begin with hearing loss in childhood, followed by vision loss in adolescence or early adulthood.

Question 11

A condition in which a child is born with an abnormally shaped pupil and/or abnormalities of the retina or optic nerve is
A)atresia.
B)choanae.
C)coloboma.
D)retinitis pigmentosa.

Accepted Answer

This condition is called coloboma, which is a congenital malformation that can affect various structures of the eye, including the iris, retina, and optic nerve. It is characterized by a notch or gap in one of these structures, which causes visual impairment.

Question 12

The number of children from birth to 22 years of age who are deaf-blind is estimated to be about
A)100.
B)1,000.
C)10,000.
D)100,000.

Accepted Answer

According to the National Center on Deaf-Blindness, the estimated number of children from birth to 22 years old who are deaf-blind is around 10,000.

Question 13

Estimates are that each year about what percent of school-age children acquire a brain injury?
A)5.0%
B)0.5%
C)50%
D)0.05%

Accepted Answer

Estimates suggest that 0.5% of school-age children acquire a brain injury each year.

Question 14

Each of the following is a symptom of CHARGE syndrome EXCEPT
A)abnormally shaped pupils.
B)tunnel vision.
C)paralysis or weakness of facial nerves.
D)heart defects.

Accepted Answer

Tunnel vision is not a common symptom of CHARGE syndrome. Abnormally shaped pupils, paralysis or weakness of facial nerves, and heart defects are all associated with the condition.

Question 15

In Canada,definitions of deaf-blindness
A)are common across provinces.
B)vary widely across provinces.
C)are based on easily measurable criteria.
D)are created by the Canadian National Institute for the Blind.

Accepted Answer

Definitions of deaf-blindness vary widely across provinces in Canada, and there is no standardized definition used nationally. The criteria for classifying someone as deaf-blind can also vary, and may include factors such as the extent of vision and hearing loss and the impact on daily living activities. There is no central authority such as the Canadian National Institute for the Blind responsible for creating these definitions.

Question 16

affective education and treatment for students with TBI often requires each of the following EXCEPT
A)avoid trying to develop a personal relationship.
B)practice classroom behaviour management techniques.
C)engage in family therapy.
D)arrange communication training.

Accepted Answer

Developing a personal relationship is essential for providing affective education and treatment to students with TBI. It helps build trust and rapport, which is crucial for successful outcomes. Therefore, avoiding a personal relationship is not a recommended approach. The other options listed, including classroom behavior management, family therapy, and communication training, are all important components of affective education and treatment for students with TBI.

Question 17

All low-incidence,severe and multiple exceptionalities combined probably affect what percent of the population?
A)about 2%
B)less than 1%
C)about .2%
D)about .1%

Accepted Answer

Low-incidence, severe and multiple exceptionalities combined are very rare and affect less than 1% of the population. These exceptionalities require a high level of specialized support and intervention to maximize the individuals' potential.

Question 18

Many teacher do not want students with TBI in their classrooms because
A)they typically require a guide dog.
B)these students exhibit troublesome characteristics.
C)the parents of these students are often overinvolved.
D)these students may require medical attention at any time.

Accepted Answer

Students with TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) may exhibit troublesome characteristics such as difficulty with focus, memory, and behavior regulation. This can be challenging for teachers to manage, especially if they do not have the necessary training or support. However, it is important for teachers to understand that these students still have a right to an education and may benefit from accommodations and specialized instruction.

Question 19

A syndrome that causes deaf-blindness and is characterized by a combination of physical anomalies present at birth
A)Usher syndrome.
B)Down syndrome.
C)Asperger syndrome.
D)CHARGE syndrome.

Accepted Answer

The syndrome described in the question is CHARGE syndrome, a genetic disorder that causes a variety of physical and developmental abnormalities, including deaf-blindness. Usher syndrome also causes deaf-blindness, but it is specifically a result of progressive vision and hearing loss, not physical anomalies present at birth. Down syndrome and Asperger syndrome are not related to deaf-blindness.

Question 20

Each of the following is a category of causes of deaf-blindness EXCEPT
A)prenatal conditions.
B)genetic/chromosomal syndromes.
C)postnatal conditions.
D)perinatal conditions.

Accepted Answer
