Individuals with ID of all ages are eligible for SLP services because enhancement of communication skills is needed to function effectively, regardless of age or cognitive level relative to communication abilities. Simply put, a functional goal is a target skill or behavior that can be measured in specific terms. Advocate for individuals with ID and their families at the local, state, and national levels. Seminars in Pediatric Neurology, 5(1), 214. The DSM-5 uses severity level to define an individual with ID as mild, moderate, severe, or profound. Classification of developmental delays.

Communication skills among individuals with ID can vary due to severity; co-occurring conditions; and other behavioral, emotional, and social factors. Small groups of children play together under the guidance of an adult facilitator. Therefore, SLPs may help make a differential diagnosis between late language emergence and ID or another DD. https://www.aaidd.org/intellectual-disability/definition, American Psychiatric Association. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajmg.c.10015, Beadle-Brown, J., Leigh, J., Whelton, B., Richardson, L., Beecham, J., Baumker, T., & Bradshaw, J.

Dynamic assessment may be used to identify nonsymbolic and symbolic communication behaviors and to evaluate individual learning potential (Snell, 2002). (2009). Difficulty with abstract language (Tager-Flusberg & Caronna, 2007). Overall pooled prevalence of approximately 37% of adults with ID had a co-occurring psychiatric disorder. Consult and collaborate with other professionals, family members, caregivers, and others to facilitate program development and to provide supervision, evaluation, and/or expert testimony, as appropriate.

These methods are based on behavioral/operant principles of learning; they involve examining the antecedents that elicit a certain behavior, along with the consequences that follow that behavior, and then making adjustments in this chain to increase desired behaviors and/or decrease inappropriate ones. The application of skills to new and appropriate situations is reinforced as naturally as possible as such situations occur (Kalyva & Avramidis, 2005; Whitaker et al., 1998). https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.a2507, Vuijk, P.

This includes math, reading, writing and functional goal ideas. (2007). Prolonged unintelligible speech, particularly in connected speech (Barnes et al., 2009). Parent-mediated/implemented treatment approaches involve partnerships between SLPs, parents/caregivers, and other professionals and communication partners in supporting the natural communication behaviors of individuals with intellectual and other developmental disabilities (Guralnick, 2017; M. Y. Roberts & Kaiser, 2011). Cognitive referencing rests on the assumption that language skills cannot improve beyond cognitive ability. Better health, better lives: Children and young people with intellectual disabilities and their families. For example, video-based instruction is a form of intervention that uses technology and can be used in peer-mediated interventions to address social skills and other target behaviors. 2756). See the Assessment section of the Intellectual Disability evidence map for pertinent scientific evidence, expert opinion, and client/caregiver perspective.

Mood disorders were found to be the most prevalent psychiatric disorder to co-occur in adults with ID (6.7%; Mazza et al., 2020). (2002a). SLPs ensure that intervention provides ample opportunities for communication and incorporates. Without conducting a functional behavioral assessment or incorrectly identifying the function of the behavior, it may lead to an unsuccessful intervention.

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. Relevant research indicates that language intervention benefits children with ID even when no languagecognition discrepancy exists (Carr & Felce, 2000; Cole et al., 1990; Snell et al., 2010). Careful consideration of language history (e.g., quality and duration of exposure to different languages) and linguistic abilities in all languages is necessary in the evaluation, particularly when working with individuals who are multilingual. Brief explanation goes like: READ : Measurable IEP Goals for Geometry. https://doi.org/10.1177/0022219410374236, Shott, S. R. (2006). Refer to other professionals to rule out other conditions, determine etiology, and facilitate access to comprehensive services (e.g., physical therapy, occupational therapy). https://doi.org/10.1044/1092-4388(2007/032), Twachtman-Reilly, J., Amaral, S. C., & Zebrowski, P. P. (2008). Universal Design for Learning is a lesson planning framework that can guide teachers in inclusive lesson planning. Individuals with ID may experience challenges in acquiring the skills necessary for independent living and achieving success in postsecondary education/training programs, employment settings, and social situations. 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. Roberts, J. E., Hennon, E. A., & Anderson, K. (2003). The level of support needed for adaptive functioning (i.e., performance of basic life skills) determines the severity level for ID. Motor performance of children with mild intellectual disability and borderline intellectual functioning. A lack of culturally and linguistically sensitive assessment measures and inherent assessment bias contribute to misrepresentation and disproportionality in the identification of individuals with ID. Intellectual disability is a disorder marked by below-average intellectual function and a lack of skills necessary for independent daily living. It can be used with a large variety of individuals.
