Another part of the voting process that became difficult and complicated for African Americans was the Application itself. The application differed from state to state but in order to fill it out completely the person would have to include personal information about themselves.

Alex demonstrated mastery of applications in context, scoring 76/80. This score indicates that she identified 76 words fluently. Alex’s performance on this assessment shows that she is able to read words in context with ease.

Linear regressions were also conducted in order to truly determine whether mental development and productive vocabulary at T1 or T2 was a good predictor of intellect and language outcomes at T3 Lorenzo et al. (2015). The results of this study found that children with NF Type I had a significant difference in their cognitive scores as compared to their controls. However, parental reports did not indicate any significant group differences in behavior from T1 to T2 to T3. The findings of this study also supported the hypothesis that earlier mental function is a significant predictor of later intelligence. Lastly, the findings of this study also supported the hypothesis that early productive vocabulary is a significant predictor of later language skills (Lorenzo et al.,

To begin with, TPE 2 consists of different factors in performing the teaching job. First, teacher should demonstrates knowledge of confidentiality provisions and requirements. For this reason, teacher needs to make sure all personal and testing information are confidential. It can only be shared with IEP team who are involved in the student’s education. Second, teacher should demonstrate working knowledge of basic tests and measurement principles. With this in mind, it is essential that the teacher knows how to implement the assessment tool while making sure that the student knows how to follow the instructions. Third, teacher should demonstrate skills in the assessment of students with Moderate/Severe disabilities, collecting and using multiple sources of information to assess student learning. In order to have accurate data collection, teacher should use formal assessments such as Brigance or WIAT III and informal assessment such as San Diego Quick Reading assessment,
