Try answering before revealing the rationale — mark misses to retry later.
Q1.'Least Restrictive Environment' (LRE) under IDEA means:
Correct: B. LRE requires that students with disabilities be educated with non-disabled peers to the maximum extent appropriate for their needs. It balances inclusion with individualized services.
Q2.Which of the following is the MOST measurable goal?
Correct: B. This goal is specific (/s/, initial position), measurable (80%), achievable, relevant, and time-bound (3 consecutive sessions) — meeting all SMART criteria.
Q3.Early intervention services under IDEA Part C are for children:
Correct: B. IDEA Part C serves infants and toddlers birth to age 3 with disabilities or developmental delays through an IFSP. Part B serves ages 3-21 via IEPs.
Praxis Path unlocks a full question bank + 132-question timed mock exam and spaced-repetition flashcards.
Is IDEA the same as ASHA scope?
No — IDEA is federal special-education law defining school services; ASHA scope is the profession's practice framework. Both apply in schools.
How often are IEPs reviewed?
At least annually; comprehensive re-evaluations every 3 years unless waived by the team.
Can medical diagnosis alone qualify a student for services?
No — IDEA eligibility requires demonstrated adverse educational impact in addition to a qualifying condition.
