Special Education Process & Law
This act provides free and appropriate public education for students with disabilities.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 2004
This theory emphasizes learning through reinforcement, punishment, or extinction.
Behavior Theory
In this model, students rotate through activities at different stations monitored by teachers.
Station Teaching
These visual or verbal prompts help students focus on critical aspects of math problems.
Strategy Cuing
This is the least restrictive setting where students with disabilities can learn.
General Education Classroom
A written plan under IDEA that outlines a student’s unique learning needs and goals.
Individualized Education Program (IEP)
This type of reinforcement involves removing an aversive stimulus to increase a desired behavior.
Negative Reinforcement
These are the key goals that students are expected to achieve during a lesson.
Student Objectives
This involves teaching mathematical procedures in small, manageable steps to enhance understanding.
"Sequencing"?
Teachers should check for this when a test item does not accurately represent student knowledge.
Item reliability
This provision under IDEA ensures schools identify, locate, and evaluate children with disabilities.
Child Find
Breaking down information into manageable units to optimize working memory.
"Chunking"
This type of instruction is delivered clearly and explicitly to ensure understanding.
Clear & Explicit Instruction
The three components of reading fluency are
Rate, Accuracy, Prosody
These tools, such as graphic organizers and checklists, help students organize and process information.
Visual Supports
This universal process identifies students in need of additional support.
Universal Screening
This method of teaching involves guiding students as they construct their own understanding.
"Scaffolded Instruction"
These repetitive, structured activities help students with high-incidence disabilities practice and reinforce reading skills.
Drill and Repetition
Fluency is essential because it serves as a bridge to this critical skill.
Reading Comprehension
This approach supports students with disabilities by enhancing accessibility with digital tools.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
This law aims to ensure all students, regardless of ability, can succeed academically.
Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)
Observational learning, modeling, and environmental interplay are core components of this cognitive theory.
"Social Learning Theory"
A teacher scaffolding instruction by gradually reducing support is applying this method.
Guided Practice
Breaking down words into smaller, meaningful parts to support decoding is this instructional method.
Segmentation
To qualify for a 504 Plan, a student must have an impairment that limits this.
