Small groups of children play together under the guidance of an adult facilitator. An FCT approach may be considered with students with ID to replace challenging behaviors with appropriate communication alternatives (Brady & Halle, 1997; Martin et al., 2005; Schmidt et al., 2014). (2009). Setting refers to the location of treatment (e.g., home, community-based, work). Multiple communication partners besides the SLP may also be involved in service delivery across settings. Overall pooled prevalence of approximately 37% of adults with ID had a co-occurring psychiatric disorder. Terry's Individualized Education Program (IEP) includes goals and objectives specifically designed for . Challenging behaviors are reduced when individuals with ID are taught communication skills that serve efficiently and effectively as alternative behaviors (Kurtz et al., 2011). https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7610.2009.02204.x, Reid, S.

Scripts are often used to promote social interaction but can also be used in a classroom setting to facilitate academic interactions and promote academic engagement (Hart & Whalon, 2008).

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) aligns with the Disability section of the 7th edition of the American Psychological Association (2020) style manual, which says to use the terminology preferred by the individual. SLPs may need to consider the possibility of mild cognitive impairment, a condition characterized by subtle cognitive decline that may lead to dementia (see ASHAs Practice Portal page on Dementia), if treating adults with ID with new communication concerns. Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 46(5), 376386. See ASHAs Preferred Practice Patterns for the Profession of Speech-Language Pathology for a more detailed outline of the major components of communication intervention for individuals across the life span (ASHA, 2004). For information about eligibility for services in the schools, see Eligibility and Dismissal in Schools, IDEA Part B Issue Brief: Individualized Education Programs and Eligibility for Services, and Current IDEA Part C Final Regulations (2011). This definition of ID balances limitations with an equal emphasis on skills. In R. J. McCauley, M. E. Fey, & R. B. Gillam (Eds. Unit/Subject: Social Skills. 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/10.2511/rpsd.24.3.133, McKenzie, K., Milton, M., Smith, G., & Ouellette-Kuntz, H. (2016). Behavioral interventions and techniques (e.g., differential reinforcement, prompting, fading, and modeling) are designed to reduce problem behaviors and teach functional alternative behaviors using the basic principles of behavior change. Cultural differences in the attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions of individuals with ID are well documented within the United States and in other countries (Allison & Strydom, 2009; Scior, 2011; WHO, 2010a). Cerebral palsy: From diagnosis to adult life. 106-402, 102(8). A comprehensive assessment may include the following, depending on the age and functioning of individuals with ID and their needs: Details regarding the components of a comprehensive assessment are available on the following Practice Portal pages: See also ASHAs Practice Portal pages on Autism Spectrum Disorder and Social Communication Disorder for relevant assessment considerations based on individual needs for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and ID. Support students with ID throughout their school years and in postsecondary education settings. It is a leading cause of developmental disabilities in the United States (Clarke & Gibbard, 2003). Milieu language teaching and other related procedures offer systematic approaches for prompting children to expand their repertoire of communication functions and to use increasingly complex language skills (Kaiser & Roberts, 2013). https://doi.org/10.1352/1944-7558-118.5.365, Barnes, E., Roberts, J., Long, S.

The purpose of this study was to examine how 14 parents of children with autism and intellectual impairments responded to an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based psychological flexibility intervention programme. Comprehensive assessment includes a hearing screening and referral for a complete audiological assessment if hearing concerns are indicated. Team members determine strengths and limitations in adaptive functioning and collaboratively determine the levels of support needed across conceptual, social, and practical domains. Delayed language development is often the first sign of a developmental problem. The SLP recognizes that individual family values and available resources are central to the decision-making process. Disproportionality and learning disabilities: Parsing apart race, socioeconomic status, and language. Specific: Be discrete in goal designing. It is important for individuals with ID to have the opportunity for literacy intervention, including a focus on phonological processing/word decoding and reading comprehension (Barker et al., 2013).

J., & Warren, S. F. (2002). Treatment may begin as early as these disorders are detected, and early intervention is critical in identifying and providing services that will support both the child and the family (Guralnick, 2019). As individuals with ID reaches adolescence and adulthood, their communication and functional needs change. AAC involves supplementing, or using in the absence of, natural speech and/or writing with aided (e.g., picture communication symbols, line drawings, and tangible objects) and/or unaided (e.g., manual signs, gestures, and finger spelling) symbols.

Speech and language skills may begin to decline in adults with ID from about the age of 50 years even when dementia is not taken into account (J. E. Roberts et al., 2007). Language comprehension is better than production, particularly syntax (J. E. Roberts et al., 2007). Individuals with ID usually develop skills slower than their typically developing peers do, whereas individuals with ASD may not follow the typical developmental progression of skills across domains.
