What is response to intervention?
Tier 1 (Universal Instruction): beneficial for all
Tier 2 (Targeted Instruction): supplement universal instruction (addresses specific needs identified in progress monitoring; small group)

How do UDL and Differentiated Instruction relate/differ?
UDL provides broad principles for planning, differentiated instruction allows teachers to address specific skills and difficulties
T/F: Teachers are within the circle of care?
FALSE
What is the Simple View of Reading?
Decoding (word recognition) x language comprehension = reading comprehension
What kind of service delivery is pull-out intervention where you are taking a child out of the classroom for 1-on-1 therapy? What kind of Tiered intervention would this be?
multidisciplinary, Tier 3
Ms. Green has created a board to help students identify/label and use coping strategies to work through situations where they are struggling with self-regulation. What means of does this represent in UDL?
Multiple means of engagement
What are the 2 forms of consent needed?

Scarborough's Reading Rope
What kind of service delivery is it when an SLP comes into the classroom for a few sessions to support the teacher; modeling, coaching and guiding the teacher?
Consultation
Mr. Johnson has created an assignment that involves use of physical manipulatives (e.g., blocks, 3D models, base-ten blocks) to represent concepts introduced in class. What UDL principle does this represent?
Multiple means of action & expression
A teacher asks you to come listen to one of her students that "sounds funny". Can you do this before getting consent?
No! This would be considered a screening, and requires informed consent and consent for the collection, use and disclosure of health information.

What service delivery model is it when the students are divided, and the classroom teacher and the SLP each instruct a designated group of students simultaneously in different areas of the same classroom, with the SLP taking the group of students that needs more modification of content or slower pacing in order to master the educational content? What Tier could this be?
Transdisciplinary (parallel teaching), Tier 2
Using reading materials at varying readability levels is an example of differentiation by...
content: what the student needs to learn or how the student will get access to the information
You (school board SLP) have a child who you want to refer to another SLP outside of the board. Do you need consent from the parent?
Yes, consent must be obtained when there is a significant change in services
What is orthographic mapping?
The process of mapping phonemes to graphemes for sight word retrieval (explains how learn to read words by sight, spell by memory and acquire vocab from print).
What service delivery is it when instructional material is divided into parts, with the SLP and the classroom teacher(s) each taking a group of students. Students rotate to each station, or learning centre, for instruction? What Tier would this be?

What are the two neural streams called which are related to increases in word reading proficiency (e.g., through speeded reading tasks)? Reading words via which pathway is faster and more automatic?
Dorsal & ventral stream. Ventral is used by good readers to read familiar words that have been stored in long term memory.
