Alex, your 14-year-old student with a learning disability, is cooperative during 1:1 therapy sessions, but ignores you or is resistant to you when you attempt to work with him in his classroom. His behavior is: _________
  1. Not typical due to his learning disability.
  2. Typical due to his age and stage of development.
  3. Typical due to his family background.
  4. Not typical due to his behavior problems.
Explanation
Answer: B. Alex’s behavior is typical due to his age and stage of development. Young teenagers are in the stage of development where the social and emotional centers of their brains are rapidly developing. So their focus and interest will be on their peers. Students who require special services in school may be hypersensitive to the attention placed on them and may resist your help.
