Music Therapy CBMT Exam
Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA)
(Ans- Originally passed by Congress in 1975 and reauthorized several
times, most recently in 2004, the IDEA specifies the procedures for insuring
that all children with disabilities receives a free appropriate education in the
least restrictive environment possible. It also includes requirements for
parental involvement and due process procedures when parents or
guardians disagree with a school’s decision regarding their child.
Individualized Education Program (IEP)
(Ans- The federal special education law (IDEA) requires that an IEP be
developed by a team for each student receiving special education services.
The IEP must contain a statement of the student’s present levels of
educational performance, annual goals related to areas of deficit, shortterm objective describing the intermediate steps to the annual goals,
criteria and procedures for determining the achievement of the objectives,
and educational services to be provided to the student. Any changes to a
student’s IEP must be agreed upon by the entire IEP team. Changes
cannot be made unilaterally by one individual.
Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP)
(Ans- A plan, similar to an IEP, by designed for young children (under 3
years of age) and their families. An IFSP is somewhat broader than an IEP
in that it also specifies services and resource to be provided to the entire
family in support of the child with disabilities.
Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)
(Ans- A legal term from the IDEA that specifies that students with
disabilities must be educated as close to the same environment as their
typical (nondisabled) peers. It is this provision on which inclusion is based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Manifestation Determination
(Ans- A determination that a student’s inappropriate behavior is not a
result, or manifestation, of his or her disability. This is usually determined in
a hearing and is required when a student’s behavior violates school rules
and before the school can undertake disciplinary action that might result in
a student’s suspension from school.
Mnemonics
(Ans- The use of memory-enhancing strategies or cues to remember
something. This might include such things as rhymes, visualization or
acronyms.
Nonverbal Learning Disabilities
(Ans- Refers to individuals who have a cluster of disabilities in social
interaction, math, visual-spatial and tactual tasks.
Peer Tutoring
(Ans- A method used to integrate students with disabilities into general
education settings. It is based on research that demonstrates that students
can effectively tutor one another. It maximizes active student engagement
with an academic task and can also improve social and communication
skills. One particularly effective form is Classwide Peer Tutoring (CWPT).
Positive Behavioral Support (PBS)
(Ans- Using methods and techniques that support desirable and
appropriate behavior rather than punishing undesirable or inappropriate
behavior. It usually consists of determining what types of reinforcers would
promote appropriate student behavior and then using those reinforcers to
help the student engage in that behavior.
Seizure
(Ans- A sudden alternation of consciousness, usually accompanied by
motor activity and\/or sensory phenomena, caused by an abnormal
discharge of electrical energy in the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spina Bifida
(Ans- A congenital midline defect resulting from failure of the bony spinal
column to close completely during fetal development. It may occur
anywhere from the head to the lower end of the spine. Because the spinal
column is not closed, the spinal card can protrude, resulting in damage to
the nerves and paralysis and\/or lack of function or sensation below the site
of the defect.
Stereotypic Behaviors
(Ans- Any of a variety of repetitive behaviors that are sometimes found in
individuals who are have autism, blindness, or who are severely mentally
retarded. May include such things as rubbing eyes, hand flapping, swaying
from side to side, etc.
Supported Employment
(Ans- A method of integrating people with disabilities who cannot work
independently into competitive employment. Includes the use of a job
coach who helps the person with disabilities train for and succeed on the
job.
Systematic Instruction
(Ans- Teaching that involves instructional prompts, consequences, or
reinforcement, for performance, and transfer of stimulus control. It is
usually used with individuals with mental retardation.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
(Ans- An injury through the brain due to an accident (not conditions present
at birth, birth trauma, or degenerative disease). Results in total or partial
disability that affects educational performance. It may affect any or all areas
of cognition, language, memory, attention, judgment, motor skills, behavior,
emotions, problem solving, or speech. Because as the brain heals the
symptoms will change over time TBI requires close communication among
education, medical and other professionals, and parents\/guardians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Individual Transition Plan (ITP)
(Ans- The IDEA requires that, no later than age 16 (or earlier if
appropriate), each student’s IEP should contain a statement of needed
transition services. In addition, the ITP must include a statement of linkages
and responsibilities for each appropriate agency for provide those services.
The intent is to have a plan in place to facilitate the individual’s successful
transition from the school setting to the community.
Job Coach
(Ans- A person who assists workers with disabilities to be successful in a
job setting. A job coach provides vocational assessment, instruction,
planning, interaction and communication assistance with employers, and
other services to support the individual in a job.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
(Ans- The ADA is a civil rights law for persons with disabilities to protect
them from discrimination in a wide range of activities, such as employment,
transportation, public accommodations, and telecommunications. This is
not the primary law that provides protection and safeguards educational
rights of students in schools. That law is the IDEA.
Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act
(Ans- Signed into law in 1998, this law provides federal funds for
occupationally-relevant equipment, vocational curriculum materials,
materials for learning labs, curriculum development or modification, staff
development, career counseling and guidance activities, efforts for
academic-vocational integration, supplemental services for special
populations, hiring vocational staff, remedial classes, and expansion of tech
prep programs. In special education its primary benefit is that it requires
schools, and distributes funds, to provide vocational training, planning and
placement for students with special needs.

used for other purposes as well. It breaks a skill or task down into smaller<\/p>\n\n\n\n
