...means significantly sub-average general intellectual functioning, existing concurrently [at the same time] with deficits in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period, that adversely affects a child’s educational performance.

What is Intellectual Disability.

...includes the breadth and depth of a person's acquired knowledge, the ability to communicate one's knowledge, and the ability to reason using previously learned experiences or procedures.
What is GC.
100
This test has 18 subtests of two types: core and supplementary. The subtests are grouped into 4 or 5 scales depended on the age and interpretive model chosen. This model consists of four scales: Sequential Processing Scale, Simultaneous processing Scale, Learning Ability and Planning Ability. CHC model renames these: Short Term Memory (Gsm), Visual Processing (Gv), Long Term Storage and Retrieval (Glr) and Fluid Reasoning (Gf) plus an additional 5th scale Crystallised Ability (Gc).

The process that the IEP undertakes in order to determine whether a student's behavior is the result of a disability.

What is manifestation determination?

Tests and other evaluation materials used in the evaluation of children with suspected disabilities are "provided and administered in the child's native language or other mode of communication and in the form most likely to yield accurate information accurate information on what the child knows and can do academically, developmentally, and functionally, unless it is not feasible to so provide or administer.
What is the native language requirement?
200
…means a condition exhibiting one or more of the following characteristics over a long period of time and to a marked degree that adversely affects a child’s educational performance: (a) An inability to learn that cannot be explained by intellectual, sensory, or health factors. (b) An inability to build or maintain satisfactory interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers. (c) Inappropriate types of behavior or feelings under normal circumstances. (d) A general pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression. (e) A tendency to develop physical symptoms or fears associated with personal or school problems. The term includes schizophrenia.
What is Emotional Disturbance.
200
includes the broad ability to reason, form concepts, and solve problems using unfamiliar information or novel procedures. Also known as "fluid intelligence"
What is GF.
200
First developed in 1977. There are 7 tests in the standard battery, and an additional 14 in the extended battery, allowing for a considerably detailed analysis of cognitive abilities. The Cattell-Horn-Carroll theory factors that this test examines are: Comprehension-Knowledge, Long-Term Retrieval, Visual-Spatial Thinking, Auditory Processing, Fluid Reasoning, Processing Speed, Short-Term Memory and Quantitative Knowledge and Reading-Writing Ability. A General Intellectual Ability (GIA) or Brief Intellectual Ability (BIA) may be obtained.
What is the Woodcock Johnson.
200
Must include child's parents, regular education teacher, at least one special education teacher, representative of the school district, interpreter of instructional implications, possibly an expert, and if appropriate, the child.
Who are the members of an IEP meeting?
200
Ethical codes, professional standards, and law show agreement that, with the exception of urgent situations, this should be obtained prior to the provision of school psychological services.
What is informed consent?
300
…means a developmental disability significantly affecting verbal and nonverbal communication and social interaction, generally evident before age three, that adversely affects a child’s educational performance. Other characteristics often associated with autism are engaging in repetitive activities and stereotyped movements, resistance to environmental change or change in daily routines, and unusual responses to sensory experiences.
What is Autism.
300
...is the ability to store information and fluently retrieve it later in the process of thinking.
What is GLR.
300
This test is composed of 10 core subtests and five supplemental subtests, with the 10 core subtests comprising the Full Scale IQ. With the new ______, the verbal/performance subscales from previous versions were removed and replaced by the index scores. The General Ability Index (GAI) was included, which consists of the Similarities, Vocabulary and Information subtests from the Verbal Comprehension Index and the Block Design, Matrix Reasoning and Visual Puzzles subtests from the Perceptual Reasoning Index. There are four index scores representing major components of intelligence: Verbal Comprehension Index (VCI) Perceptual Reasoning Index (PRI) Working Memory Index (WMI) Processing Speed Index (PSI)
What is the WAIS-IV.
300
The core of the process and involve the tasks of evaluation and developing and writing the IEP.
What are the assessment stages?
300
This device is any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain , or improve the functional capabilities of a child with a disability.
What is assisstive technology?
400
…means having limited strength, vitality, or alertness, including a heightened alertness to environmental stimuli, that results in limited alertness with respect to the educational environment, that— (a) is due to chronic or acute health problems such as asthma, attention deficit disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, diabetes, epilepsy, a heart condition, hemophilia, lead poisoning, leukemia, nephritis, rheumatic fever, sickle cell anemia, and Tourette syndrome.
What is Other Health Impairment.
400
...is the ability to apprehend and hold information in immediate awareness and then use it within a few seconds.
What is GSM.
400
This test is divided into fifteen subtests. The five new subtests include three core tests: Picture Concepts, Letter-Number Sequencing, Matrix Reasoning and two supplemental tests: Cancellation and Word Reasoning. The supplemental subtests are used to accommodate children in certain rare cases, or to make up for spoiled results which may occur from interruptions or other circumstances. Testers are allowed no more than two substitutions in any FSIQ test, or no more than one per index. A total of five composite scores can be derived with the WISC–IV. The ________ generates a Full Scale IQ (FSIQ) which represents overall cognitive ability, the four other composite scores are Verbal Comprehension index (VCI), Perceptual Reasoning Index (PRI), Processing Speed Index (PSI) and Working Memory Index (WMI)
What is the WISC.
400
These begin the IEP process and involve two components.
What are the referral stages?
400
School professionals, including school psychologists, are required to report "the physical or mental injury, sexual abuse or exploitation, negligent treatment, or maltreatment of a child by a person who is responsible for the child's welfare, under circumstances which indicate that the child's health or welfare is harmed or threatened"
What is child abuse?
500
…a severe impairment that adversely affects a child’s educational performance. The term includes impairments caused by a congenital anomaly, impairments caused by disease (e.g., poliomyelitis, bone tuberculosis), and impairments from other causes (e.g.,cerebral palsy, amputations, and fractures or burns that cause contractures).
What is Orthopedic Impairment.
500
...reflect the immediacy with which an individual can react to stimuli or a task (typically measured in seconds or fractions of seconds; not to be confused with Gs, which typically is measured in intervals of 2–3 minutes).
What is GT.
500
This test initiated the modern field of intelligence testing and was one of the first examples of an adaptive test. The test originated in France, then was revised in the United States. This test is a standardized test that assesses IQ and cognitive abilities in children and adults aged two to 23. Moreover, this test is designed to test intelligence in four areas including verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, abstract and visual reasoning, and short-term memory skills. This test also scores 15 sub tests including vocabulary, comprehension, verbal absurdities, pattern analysis, matrices, paper folding and cutting, copying, quantitative, number series, equation building, memory for sentences, memory for digits, memory for objects, and bead memory.
