QUESTIONS WITH FULL PRACTICE
SOLUTION
●● What is Ceral Palsy and what are the 3 classification schemes
Answer: -a group of permanently disabling conditions
-damage to motor control areas of the brain
- mild (slight speech impairment) to severe (total inability to control
body)
-symptoms (speech and language, intellectual impairments, sensory
impairments
3 Classification Schemes:
-topographical anatomical body parts impacted)
-functional (impaired movement related)
-neuromotor (medical)
●● OI - what is it/IDEA definition
Answer: -IDEA: a severe orthopedic impairment that adversely affects a
child's educational performance
-term includes impairments caused by a congenital anomaly, disease,
and impairments from other causes like CP amputations, fractures or
burns
,●● TBI - IDEA definition
Answer: an acquired injury to the brain caused by external physical
force, resulting in total or partial functional disability or psychosocial
impairment, or both, that adversely affects a child's educational

●● How does a stroke occur and how does it impact individuals?
Answer: Occurs: damage to brain from faulty circulation
Impact:
-can affect motor ability and control, sensation and perception,
communication, emotions, consciousness

-most commonly causes partial or total paralysis to one side of the body
-most common form of adult disability
●● What are risk factors for a stroke?
Answer: -hypertension
, -smoking
-diabetes mellitus
-drug abuse
-obesity alcohol abuse
-diet
●● CP educational impact/adaptations?
Answer: -managing motor function-improving and develop muscle
control, emphasize muscle relaxation, increase functional skills
-abnormal reflex development-interferes with development of functional
skills, examine strapping with PT (ex., kicking and throwing balls)
-talk with PT about braces, orthotics, walks (collaborate with PT)
-primary concern-to develop total person (use of collaboration or team
approach)
●● TBI educational impact/adaptations?
Answer: -use the top-down approach to instruction
-use frequent reminders
-provide additional time for review/process
-present information in simple steps
-help student organize information and use special techniques to
remember material
-use cooperative learning activities
