  1. A parent revokes consent for special education services in writing. Under IDEA 2004, what must the school do?

    Answer: Cease services and no longer treat the student as eligible under IDEA

    Under IDEA 2004, if a parent revokes consent for special education in writing, the school must stop services and cannot use procedural safeguards to override that decision.

  2. Which IEP component directly describes how a student's disability affects involvement and progress in the general curriculum?

    Answer: Present Levels of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance (PLAAFP)

    The PLAAFP statement is the foundation of the IEP and must explain how the disability impacts the student's access to and progress in the general curriculum.

  3. A student with a physical disability cannot hold a pencil. The IEP team is considering alternatives. Which assistive technology solution BEST addresses handwriting output?

    Answer: Voice-to-text software that converts speech to written text

    Voice-to-text software bypasses the physical barrier entirely by allowing the student to produce written work through speech, addressing the output challenge directly.

  4. Under IDEA, how long must schools maintain IEP records after a student exits special education?

    Answer: Until the student turns 25 or 5 years after exit, per state guidelines (whichever is longer)

    IDEA requires records to be maintained as specified by state law, typically until the student reaches age 25 or for a minimum of five years after exit, and parents must be notified before destruction.

  5. A student who is deaf receives interpreting services. Under IDEA, interpreting is classified as a:

  6. A new student transfers from another state with an existing IEP. How quickly must the receiving district provide comparable services?

    Answer: Immediately upon enrollment while the district reviews the existing IEP

    IDEA requires districts to provide comparable services immediately upon enrollment of a transfer student while they review the previous IEP and decide whether to adopt or revise it.

  7. A student's IEP includes a goal to participate in cooperative learning groups. This goal addresses which domain?

    Answer: Social/functional performance

    Cooperative learning participation is a social and functional skill that falls under functional performance goals, which IDEA requires IEPs to address alongside academic goals.
