Q1Assertion (A): The term exceptional children includes both gifted children and children with disabilities when they differ markedly from the average and need special provision. Reason (R): In educational psychology, exceptionality is limited to low intelligence and always means intellectual disability. Choose the correct option.
The assertion is correct because exceptionality refers to marked deviation from the average in either direction with a need for special educational provision. The reason is false: intellectual disability is a separate category involving significantly sub-average intellectual functioning with adaptive-behaviour deficits, not the whole meaning of exceptionality.
Q2Which pair is correctly matched in the legal and planning framework for inclusive education in India?
An Individualized Education Programme is a written plan that specifies tailored goals, services and accommodations for a child with special needs. The RPwD Act, 2016 is the law linked with 21 disability categories and reasonable accommodation; confusing it with the RTE Act or a common timetable is a standard error.
Q3Consider the following statements about inclusive education. I. It means that children with and without disabilities learn together in the same regular setting. II. It requires appropriate support rather than mere physical presence in a classroom. III. It is identical to placement in segregated special schools. Which statements are correct?
Inclusive education means joint learning in regular settings for children with and without disabilities, supported by accommodations and services. Mere placement without support is weak inclusion, and segregated special schooling contradicts the inclusive principle.
Q4Which statement best distinguishes integration or mainstreaming from inclusion in the education of exceptional children?
Integration or mainstreaming mainly places a child in a regular class and expects the child to fit the existing system. Inclusion goes further by restructuring the school, curriculum and support so that diverse learners can learn together; segregation and category-based exclusion are therefore traps.
Q5Which statement is incorrect about inclusion-related concepts in exceptional-child education?
UDL supports inclusion through flexible, barrier-free curricular design for diverse learners. A single fixed method and assessment would ignore learner variability, while the other statements correctly describe exceptional children, inclusion and the RPwD Act, 2016.
