-assistive technology
- supported employment
Portfolio Assessment - ANSWERS -A collection of work produced by a student to check student
effort, progress and achievement such as a list of books that the student read, a collection of
tests and homework, etc.
Florida Alternative Assessment - ANSWERS -a performance-based alternative assessment of
student mastery of Access Point
Disproportionality - ANSWERS -students from certain racial/ethnic, low socioeconomic status,
non-majority linguistic backgrounds and English language learners are overrepresented in
special education programs

females tend to score lower than males)
Curriculum-based measurement (CBM) - ANSWERS -provides information about student
mastery of the general education curriculum
Summative Assessment - ANSWERS -the process of evaluation student achievement at the end
of an instructional period (a quiz administrated by the teacher at the end of an instructional
unit, a student's report card, a "high stakes", state achievement test administrated at the end of

Formative Assessment - ANSWERS -assessments are "low stakes", their main purpose is not to

Coordination of Reactions (8-12 months), Tertiary Circular Reactions (12-18 months); Early
Representational Thought (18-24 months)
Early Representational Thought - ANSWERS -18-24 months, children begin representing things
or events with symbols. A significant sensorimotor development is object permanence, i.e.,

0-1 month - ANSWERS -Reflexes (sensorimotor stage) What age?
,1-4 months - ANSWERS -infants find accidental actions like thumb-sucking pleasurable and then
intentionally repeat them (Primary Circular Reactions of sensorimotor stage) What age?
4-8 months - ANSWERS -Secondary Circular Reactions (Sensorimotor stage): infants intentionally
repeat actions to evoke environmental effects. What age?
8-12 months - ANSWERS -Coordination of Reactions (sensorimotor stage): children repeat
actions intentionally, comprehend cause and effect and combine schemas (concepts). What
age?
12-18 months - ANSWERS -Tertiary Circular Reactions (sensorimotor stage): children experiment
with trial-and-error. What age?
18-24 months - ANSWERS -Early Representational Thought (sensorimotor stage): children begin
representing things and events with symbols. A significant development is Object Permanence,

, Reflexes (sensorimotor stage) - ANSWERS -0-1 month
Ecological assessment - ANSWERS -The goal of the assessment is to identify environments in
which the student functions with greater or lesser difficulty, to understand what contributes to
these differences in functioning and to draw useful implications for instructional planning.
Authentic assessment - ANSWERS -provides descriptions of student performance on real-life
tasks carried out in real world settings.
Accountability - ANSWERS -The process of requiring students to demonstrate that they have
met specified common core standards and holding teachers responsible for students'
performance is the best described as
Itinerant teachers - ANSWERS -Professional who travel between two or more school sites to
provide services to students.
The Transition plan (Form 1 of the IFSP - Individualized Family Support Plan) - ANSWERS -The
paperwork that needs to be completed after the transition conference. the IFSP is needed for
any child with developmental delays who attends the Early Step Program.
Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten Program - ANSWERS -the program enacted in 2004, which is
designed to prepare four-year-old children for kindergarten and lay the foundation for their
success is know as
Performance-based assessment - ANSWERS -assessment that measures learning processes
Norm-based assessments - ANSWERS -Assessments that give us some idea of what students
need to know to achieve grade level performance are referred as
