NYSTCE: Students with Disabilities Exam Prep

Category - Understanding and Evaluating

You have a new student diagnosed with Asperger’s Disorder.  However, as you work with him, you realize that he is not able to have complete conversations.  As such, this student may not meet which of the following criteria for Asperger’s?

  1. Repetitive activities
  2. Measurement of language capability
  3. Nonproductive rituals
  4. Repetition of key words or phrases
  5. All of the above
Explanation

Answer - B - A diagnosis of Asperger’s Disorder requires that the client demonstrate some measurable language development skills. If limited or no language development skills are present, Autism may be a more appropriate diagnosis, since the other aspects would still be present (repetitive activities, rituals, keywords). This observation should be surfaced with the relevant managerial staff and psychologist as it may impact the type of support the student receives.
