Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: b

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: The inclusion of adaptive behavior in the identification process reflects the greater emphasis on the environment and context of the child and serves as a balance to data collected by means of standardized tests, providing a more complete picture of the individual evaluated. It is possible that an individual would perform in a substandard manner on an IQ test but demonstrate adequate skills in the community and as a result not be considered IDD. The information gained through an adaptive behavior assessment provides educators with a focus for intervention planning and skill development.
