The multifaceted team also includes families, caregivers, and persons with disabilities. In some cases, an IQ cutoff score is used (e.g., 70) as a criterion for diagnosis, whereas in other cases, the diagnostic criteria are more qualitative in nature (e.g., onset in childhood with limitations in adaptive behavior and intellectual functioning). The clinician can prompt with a question (e.g., What do you want?) or model a request (e.g., Say I need paint). See Changes in Services for Persons With Developmental Disabilities: Federal Laws and Philosophical Perspectives and Federal Programs Supporting Research and Training in Intellectual Disability. Aided symbols require a transmission device (e.g., a speech-generating device); unaided symbols require only the body to produce (Beukelman & Light, 2020). Please see ASHAs Practice Portal page on Cultural Responsiveness for further information. SLPs are involved in transition planning and may be involved to varying degrees in other support services beyond high school. An individuals total identities are considered during assessment and treatment.

Randomized comparison of augmented and nonaugmented language interventions for toddlers with developmental delays and their parents. Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 33(2), 126138. Understanding the communicative intention of challenging behaviors serves as the basis for replacing problem behaviors with more appropriate communication skills, including AAC, that would serve the same functions (see the Functional Communication Training (FCT) subsection in the Treatment section). In M. J. Guralnick (Ed. There are prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal causes of intellectual disability (ID). Terminology continues to evolve, with some individuals preferring identity-first language (e.g., autistic person). The term `individualized education program' or `IEP' means a written statement for each child with a disability that is developed, reviewed, and revised in accordance with this section and that includes.

Vocabulary intervention for children with Down syndrome: Parent training using focused stimulation. More severe disabilities are more likely to result in early identification of ID (Daily et al., 2000). As children with ID may have slowed receptive language processing compared to typically developing peers, they may benefit from an increase in frequency and intensity of examples (Ellis Weismer et al., 2017). Behavioral interventions range from one-to-one, discrete trial instruction to naturalistic approaches. Mac Keith Press. ), Feeding and nutrition in children with neurodevelopmental disability (pp. Prior studies have highlighted over- and underrepresentation of ID and/or learning disability (LD) identification across race and ethnicity (e.g., Shifrer, 2018; Shifrer et al., 2011). A medical practitioner or team may have difficulty making a diagnosis of ID or ASD due to similarities and comorbidity between the two conditions. May have a speech sound disorder (Shriberg et al., 2011). One of the major shifts in the early 1980s was a move toward person-first language, reflecting the idea that the disability does not define the person. https://doi.org/10.1044/1092-4388(2009/08-0001). Communication abilities in individuals with ID vary and may be nonsymbolic (e.g., gestures, vocalizations, specific behaviors) and/or symbolic (e.g., words, signs, pictures). According to the 42nd Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA; U.S. Department of Education, 2021), the percentages of students, aged 621 years, receiving IDEA services under the category of ID within each racial/ethnic group are as follows: Of the children with autism spectrum disorder, 33% were identified with ID (Maenner et al., 2020). https://doi.org/10.1177/108835769701200205, Burt, D.

Please see ASHAs resource on interprofessional collaborative practice for further information. Brookes. Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities, 24(3), 133146. However, information gathered during SLP evaluation and treatment may be useful to medical professionals who may diagnose ID. SLPs typically educate team members about the communication functions of such behaviors and develop methods for replacing them with other forms of communication behavior. Access to communication services and supports: Concerns regarding the application of restrictive eligibility policies [Technical report]. Social determinants of health: Key concepts. See the Service Delivery section of the Intellectual Disability evidence map for pertinent scientific evidence, expert opinion, and client/caregiver perspective.

Following the individuals lead, attempts to communicate are reinforced as these attempts get closer to the desired communication behavior (McGee et al., 1999). (2007). Focused stimulation approach to language intervention. ABA techniques are often used in intensive, early intervention (before the age of 4 years) programs to address a full range of life skills (e.g., Frea & McNerney, 2008). Terry's Individualized Education Program (IEP) includes goals and objectives specifically designed for . The condition begins in the developmental period. recommendations for support for transitions (e.g., early intervention into school age; school age into workplace). Difficulties with narrative discourse, particularly errors in nominal reference (Thorne et al., 2007). Families offer important information about the strengths, challenges, and needs for the individual with ID.

SLPs should consider the role of ABA in communication intervention, particularly because difficulty with prompt dependency and generalization of communication interactions may result. Language comprehension is better than production, particularly syntax (J. E. Roberts et al., 2007). Enhancing social problem solving in children with autism and normal children through computer-assisted instruction. Video recordings of desired behaviors are observed and then imitated by the individual (Darden-Brunson et al., 2008). Please see Co-Occurring Conditions and Disorders section above for further information regarding ID in specific populations. (2020) also revealed that the following psychiatric disorders were also found to be prevalent in adults with ID: It is important to distinguish signs and symptoms of intellectual disability (ID) from communication differences through case history and comprehensive assessment. Deficits are more severe for boys than for girls (Haebig et al., 2020). While the number sense, number recognition IEP goals or reading or vocabulary IEP goals strengthen basic skills, the cognitive abilities IEP goals touch the other aspects of building overall intelligence in children. See ASHAs Practice Portal pages on Spoken Language Disorders and Written Language Disorders for information related to language comprehension and production as well as multiple modes of communication via AAC.

The National Joint Committee for the Communication Needs of Persons With Severe Disabilities (NJC) emphasizes that there are no prerequisites for communication (NJC, 2002a, 2002b). SLPs also play a role in enhancing adaptive communication functioning, as many of the adaptive skill areas rely on communication abilities. using telecommunications technologies (e.g., phone, Zoom). For example, some individuals with ID may be good candidates for immediate introduction of symbolic communication goals that target acquisition and use of words or symbols. Down syndrome: Common otolaryngologic manifestations. The importance of early intervention for children who are at high risk for communication disorders cannot be overstated. A state of double jeopardy: Impact of prenatal alcohol exposure and adverse environments on the social communicative abilities of school-age children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. Definitions of ID have changed from being strictly IQ based to including strengths in adaptive behavior (Schalock et al., 2021; Tass, 2017). Background paper for World Health Organization Conference, Bucharest, Romania. (2018). As indicated in the ASHA Code of Ethics (ASHA, 2016a), SLPs who serve individuals with ID should be specifically educated and appropriately trained to do so.

Early detection of hearing loss and routine monitoring are essential for ensuring positive communication outcomes. The determination of incidence and prevalence of intellectual disability (ID) is complicated because researchers of ID do not use a uniform operational definition when selecting and identifying individuals with ID. (2005). The definitions of ID and related terminology have evolved over time to reflect the legal and social gains made by individuals with such a disability and their families. https://doi.org/10.1352/1934-9556-49.2.59, Office of Research Support and International Affairs. https://doi.org/10.1002/mrdd.20098, Kurtz, P.
