Which term describes providing instruction to eliminate the effects of a disability?

• A. Preventive
• B. FAPE
• C. Remedial
• D. Zero reject

Answer: (C)

Remedial instruction focuses on addressing specific skill deficits caused by a disability by providing targeted, intensive teaching to reduce or remove the impact of those deficits on learning. It aims to bring a student up to age- or grade-appropriate levels through explicit, systematic practice and progress monitoring. For example, a student with a reading disability would receive focused work on phonics, decoding, and fluency until reading performance improves markedly. This differs from preventive efforts, which try to stop problems before they arise; from FAPE, which guarantees access to appropriate education but doesn’t specify targeted deficit reduction; and from zero reject, which ensures no student with a disability is denied an education.
