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

What service is considered essential for students with medical impairments to attend school?

1. Transportation services

2. Health services

3. Extracurricular activities

4. Social services

The correct answer is: Health services

The correct answer is health services. Students with medical impairments often require specific health-related support to ensure their safety and well-being while attending school. These services can include activities such as medication administration, management of chronic health conditions, and access to nursing care. By providing health services, schools can facilitate the student's ability to participate fully in their education, addressing their medical needs in an environment that supports learning. Transportation services play a significant role in helping students with disabilities, but without the necessary health services, a student may still face barriers to attending school. Extracurricular activities and social services, while valuable, do not directly address the immediate medical needs of students, which are crucial for their daily attendance and participation in academic activities.
