Explain what it means when a student is deaf-blind and provide three examples of technology that can support students who are deaf-blind.
What will be an ideal response?
When a student is categorized as deaf-blind, it indicates that a student is both deaf and blind. However, most students who are deaf-blind are not profoundly deaf and blind, but rather have some degree of hearing or some degree of sight. Students who are deaf-blind can some use assistive technology to support students with visual impairments and some assistive technology to support students with hearing impairments. Other examples of assistive technology to support students who are deaf-blind include tactile signing, which involves physical contact of hands during the signing; tactile alarms, such as a bed shaking; and the Internet, which can provide independence and socialization, particularly with the use of other assistive technologies.

Grace randomly assigns college-bound African-American students to the intervention or to a control condition. Grace gives a mathematics achievement test in September to both groups. Through the academic year the treatment condition receives the intervention. She uses end of year achievement tests to see whether there are differences between conditions. Grace found that students studied together
for the end of year achievement tests. She believes that some of the students in the treatment condition shared intervention information with the control group. Which of the following threats does Grace now have to be most concerned about? a. Maturation by treatment b. Treatment diffusion c. Selection by treatment d. Statistical regression

Increased impulsivity and hyperactivity, as well as difficulty with organizing and integrating information, has been reported in children born to women who heavily used marijuana during their pregnancy. This is likely because

C. the lungs of the newborn are underdeveloped and the brain does not receive an adequate supply of oxygen. D. cannabis restricts the blood flow to the developing fetal brain during the second trimester of the pregnancy.
