Depths of Knowledge/Near and Far Links
AAC/AT
The Stepwise Process
100
The percentage of students with disabilities that are typically identified as students with complex support needs.
What is 1-2%?
100
These are statements of outcomes that ALL learners should have.
What are standards?
100
Using the Depths of Knowledge chart when designing and delivering instruction is important because it increases the difficulty of this.
What is the content?
100
According to research data, this is the percentage of students that use AAC as part of their educational program.
What is 50%?
100
The first step is for the instructional team to identify this (what the lesson plan will address).
What is the content standard?
200
Students with complex support needs are most often assigned to take this state assessment.
What is PASA?
200
IEPs can be aligned with state standards to help align instruction with this.
What is the general education curriculum?
200
When instruction is NOT "hitting the standard".
What is a FAR Link?
200

200
The second step is to identify what the teacher wants ALL children to __________________.
What is LEARN?

What is presumed competance?
300
For students to show progress in academic content, they need this.
What is academic instruction?

What is a NEAR Link?
300
3 examples of low-tech assistive technology.
What are...picture symbols,photographs, pencil grips, stencils, etc.?
300
In the third step, the team should identify these things that will help the student access the instruction.
What are the SUPPORTS?
400
The least dangerous assumption is assuming that poor performance is due to this rather than student deficits.
What is inadequate instruction?
400
A statement of how the student's disability affects the student's participation and progress in the general education curriculum is included in this section of the IEP.
What is the Present Education Levels section?
400
These are 2 of the 4 Depths of Knowledge levels.
What are 1:Recall/Reproduction, 2:Skills & Concepts,
3:Strategic Thinking, and 4:Extended Thinking?
400
3 examples of high-tech assistive technology.
What are...computer programs, switches, keyboard attachments, touch screens, etc.?
400
In the fourth step, the team is targeting specific objectives from this to address during the unit or lesson.
What is the IEP?
500
According to research data, this is the percentage of students with complex support needs who read basic sight words or who read basic text fluently.
What is 75%?
500
These would be 3 viable reasons to provide students with disabilities access to the general education curriculum.
What are...
500
To determine if a goal is a NEAR Link or a FAR Link, these are 3 questions a team can ask?
What are:
1:Is it academic?
2:Is the content referenced to a student's assigned grade level based on chronological age?
3:Does the focus of achievement maintain fidelity with the content of the original grade level standard?
