FTCE Exceptional Student Education (ESE) K-12 Practice Test

Which of the following aspects is NOT typically addressed for students with learning disabilities?

1. Academic success

2. Social skills

3. Behaviors related to emotional disturbances

4. Visual skills

The correct answer is: Visual skills

The correct response indicates that visual skills are not typically a primary focus when addressing the needs of students with learning disabilities. While visual skills can be important, particularly for students with specific types of learning challenges, they are generally not a central component of individualized education plans (IEPs) for learning disabilities. In contrast, academic success is a fundamental goal for students with learning disabilities, as they often require specific strategies and interventions to help them achieve academically. Social skills are also emphasized, since students with learning disabilities may struggle with peer interactions and require support in developing these crucial life skills. Additionally, behaviors related to emotional disturbances can significantly impact the learning and socialization of these students, necessitating interventions that address any emotional or behavioral challenges they may face. Understanding these aspects helps in providing comprehensive support tailored to the unique needs of students with learning disabilities, while visual skills may be less central to their overall educational plan.
