Praxis 5322 Study Guide 2026-2027, Special Education Intellectual Disabilities, 200 Practice Questions, SPED Teacher Certification PDF

Prepare for the Praxis Special Education: Teaching Students with Intellectual Disabilities (5322) test with a complete study guide built around the five ETS content categories: development and characteristics of students with intellectual disabilities; planning and managing the learning environment; instruction; assessment; and foundations and professional responsibilities. The content review explains each topic in clear, teacher-focused language, with more than 40 quick-reference tables plus charts, flow diagrams, and a normal-curve diagram for reading score reports.

The two 100-question practice tests are written at exam level and weighted like the real test: classroom scenarios, ABC data, score reports, and IEP and legal situations that ask you to choose the best next step. Every question has four answer choices and a full explanation of why the right answer works and why the most tempting wrong answer doesn't.
