Travis is a third grade student with an intellectual disability. He has just been placed in Mrs. Kinard's third grade class. Students in his class are learning their multiplication facts. Travis is eager to participate in class but instead of allowing Travis to do the same activity as the other students, Mrs. Kinard gives him a coloring worksheet that she obtained from a colleague who teaches kindergarten. Which of the disadvantages of labeling is exemplified by her actions?

A) Lower expectations.

B) Both time and money.

C) Behaviour.

A

Explanation:

This label has caused her to think lower expectations

The pre-information that Mrs Kinard has gotten about Travis' intellectual disability, made Travis to be labelled automatically. He was seen as being incapable of learning and solving problems. She developed a mindset that Travis can"t fit in. This lower expectation she had of him is a great disadvantage because she made no attempt to see if there is a slight possiblity that he can achieve it, by giving him a coloring worksheet.

Answer:A) Lower expectations.

Explanation:Since Mrs kinard knows that Travis suffers from Intellectual disability which is a disability that causes someone to experience major limitations both intellectually and in adaptive behavior, she is now using this disorder to label him as someone incapable of difficult task. Since people with intellectual disabilities are described as individuals who find it hard to solve problems, she probably label him using that and believes Travis can't be able to do multiplications, the fact that she knows what Travis suffers from has lowered her expectations of him.
