Your answers are all right -- except I question # 4. Does a child with a vision problem press his eyes with his fingers to indicate discomfort or pain in his eyes? You may be right that it's an indication of a need for attention, but please check your sources to be certain that is the best answer. Also, check back here because another teacher may have more experience with people with visual problems.
In checking your answers, I found this web site that has excellent information about people-first language.

Another thought about # 4. Is it an example of blindism? According to this site, rubbing eyes is a behavior of many people who are visually impaired and may be considered an example of blindism. Again -- please check your text.

It's great that you've taken the initiative to check your answers and ask for feedback. It's important to ensure your answers are accurate and supported by reliable sources. Let's go through each question together:
1. A good example of people-first language is:
Your answer: (C) "This is a child with attention deficit disorder."
Your answer is correct. People-first language emphasizes the person's identity first, rather than defining them by their condition or disability.
2. Minority children are often not identified as gifted because:
Your answer: (C) teachers often do not acknowledge giftedness in minority children.
Your answer is correct. Research has shown that there is often a bias in identifying giftedness, leading to underrepresentation of minority children.
3. Total communication might be a better way to teach language to a hearing-impaired child because:
Your answer: (D) there is proof that total communication is best.
Your answer is not entirely correct. Total communication, which combines sign language, speech, and lip-reading, is often preferred by families of hearing-impaired children because it allows for more effective communication. The choice of communication method should be based on individual needs and preferences, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
4. A visually impaired child who presses his fingers against his eyes might be displaying:
Your answer: (C) a need for attention.
Your answer may not be the best choice. Pressing fingers against the eyes can indicate various things, such as eye pain, strained vision, or self-soothing behavior. It is essential to consult reliable sources or experts in the field to obtain accurate information.
5. An emotional disability in a young child is generally characterized by:
Your answer: (C) behavior that is much different from what is typical for the same age or culture.
Your answer is correct. Emotional disabilities in young children are often characterized by behavior that deviates significantly from what is considered typical for their age or culture.
Remember, it's always beneficial to consult reliable sources, textbooks, or experts in the field to ensure accurate answers. You can also consider discussing your answers with other teachers or professionals who may have more experience in identifying and supporting individuals with disabilities.
