It indicates a failure to achieve age-appropriate developmental milestones (Battaglia & Carey, 2003; Petersen et al., 1998). https://doi.org/10.1023/A:1010660502130. (2016). See Treatment Principles for Individuals With an Intellectual Disability. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ridd.2010.09.018, Loveall, S. J., Channell, M. M., Phillips, B. Publication manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.). Additionally, LD is not characterized by intellectual limitations. Individuals with ID commonly experience stigmatization, discrimination, and health inequalities across cultures (Allison & Strydom, 2009). Content Disclaimer: The Practice Portal, ASHA policy documents, and guidelines contain information for use in all settings; however, members must consider all applicable local, state and federal requirements when applying the information in their specific work setting. Screening may not be a needed step for individuals with intellectual disability (ID), particularly those with more severe limitations in intellectual or adaptive functioning. Treatment typically encompasses a variety of techniques and approaches (Goldstein, 2006). Characteristics may include the following: Other conditions that may also co-occur with ID include the following: Individuals with ID may have more health problems than others in the general population, often because of inadequate health care, limited access to quality services (Krahn et al., 2006; van Schrojenstein Lantman-de Valk & Walsh, 2008), and communication limitations (Gentile et al., 2015). Individuals with both ASD and ID may have more difficulty with ToM than those with ID alone (Cceres et al., 2014). Development of literacy skills is important in any population; however, children with DD access literacy in different ways than nondisabled peers. https://doi.org/10.1093/med:psych/9780195317046.003.0005, Gentile, J. P., Cowan, A. E., & Smith, A. Each individual with intellectual disability (ID) has a unique profile, based on their level of language functioning as well as functioning in areas related to language and communication, including the following: Intervention considers strengths and needs in all areas to ensure individualized treatment and supports. L. No. Target-level language. If the person does not initiate, an expectant look and a time delay might be sufficient to prompt language use. difficulty with nonverbal communication modalities (e.g., gestural or facial expression). 97132). Intervention for individuals with ID typically incorporates a variety of options and techniques in combination. Team models may be multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, or transdisciplinary (see ASHAs resource on collaboration and teaming). Increased prevalence of hearing loss has been reported in individuals with ID as compared with the general population. https://doi.org/10.1002/aur.1405, Chadwick, D.

Quality of life and quality of support for people with severe intellectual disability and complex needs. Models of teaming require varying degrees of collaboration and engagement. ABA has been used for individuals with ID, particularly those who also have ASD (e.g., Spreckley & Boyd, 2009). 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. Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 45(5), 424438. A., Eklund, S. J., James, D. R., & Foose, A. K. (2003). Dietz, P. M. (2020). Typically developing peers are taught strategies to facilitate play and social interactions; interventions are commonly carried out in inclusive settings where play with typically developing peers naturally occurs (e.g., preschool setting). ), Families and positive behavior support (pp. Interview with family members about communication during daily routines. The Hanen programs are parent training approaches focused on supporting language and communication development in children with disabilities. Service delivery decisions are made based on the individuals communication needs relative to their family, community, school, or work setting.

Assessment prompts and treatment materials are reviewed for relevance for each individual. 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/10.1007/s10803-007-0395-z, Lin, J.-D., Wu, C.-L., Lin, P.-Y., Lin, L.-P., & Chu, C. M. (2011). Defining language delay in young children by cognitive referencing: Are we saying more than we know? Intervention for individuals with ID involves a variety of communication partners (peers and adults) in different settings and may address the following areas: Treatment programs often incorporate teaching or coaching models for communication partners, including peers, so they may support the individuals language comprehension and expression. Motor performance of children with mild intellectual disability and borderline intellectual functioning. Cultural beliefs may influence some individuals perceptions about the causes of ID (Allison & Strydom, 2009; Scior, 2011). A variety of approaches may be selected based on individual strengths and needs. https://doi.org/10.1044/1058-0360.0101.38, Krahn, G. L., Hammond, L., & Turner, A. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10803-010-1117-5, Snell, M. E. (2002). Prevalence refers to the number of people who are living with the condition in a given time period. Communication Disorders Quarterly, 33(4), 252260. (Eds.). SLPs ensure that symbols used with individuals who require AAC reflect the cultural and linguistic identity of the individual and are in line with the individuals preference. 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.

These changes reflect the movement away from a medical model and institutionalization and toward inclusive practices, self-advocacy, and self-determination. Advocate for individuals with ID and their families at the local, state, and national levels. Intellectual disability 1 involves problems with general mental abilities that affect functioning in two areas: Intellectual functioning (such as learning, problem solving, judgement). The focus is on maximizing childrens potential and their intrinsic desire to socialize with peers (Wolfberg & Schuler, 1999). Intellectual disability can be caused by a problem that starts any time before a child turns 18 years old - even before birth. Infants & Young Children, 18(3), 174185. (2016b). Images, symbols, and depicted scenes are not universally meaningful or appropriate. Communication skills among individuals with ID can vary due to severity; co-occurring conditions; and other behavioral, emotional, and social factors. Schalock, R. L., Luckasson, R., & Tass, M. J. Team members may include parents/caregivers, general education teachers, special educators, counselors, job coaches, group home supervisors, and psychologists. 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). See ASHAs Practice Portal page on Transitioning Youth for further details. (2002b). Symptoms of profound ID include: inability to understand or comply with requests or instructions. They also have difficulty with speech production due to low muscle tone and characteristic facial features (Berglund et al., 2001; J. E. Roberts et al., 2007). In M. J. Guralnick (Ed.

Multiple communication partners besides the SLP may also be involved in service delivery across settings. With extra guidance and preparedness, students with intellectual disabilities can acquire and benefit from these skills in their practical life (Spooner, 2015).

Infant-Toddler Intervention: The Transdisciplinary Journal, 8(2), 109125. Brookes. Comprehensive assessment includes a hearing screening and referral for a complete audiological assessment if hearing concerns are indicated. This training may include the use of communication intervention strategies, partner training in AAC, and/or assistive technology. Make sure your goals are SMART. Diagnostic Adaptive Behavior Scale users manual. Herer (2012) found that the prevalence of hearing loss in noninstitutionalized adults with ID was higher than for individuals in the general population and that the hearing loss occurred at a much younger age. Functional skills are those skills a student needs to live independently. Keep these factors in mind when reviewing the incidence and prevalence data below. At times, this may inhibit families from seeking services, resulting in either delays or lack of intervention. Ruiter, I. D. (2000).

A randomised clinical trial was conducted. 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. In Neurological, psychiatric, and developmental disorders: Meeting the challenge in the developing world. (2004). 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).

A lack of generalization of these skills to real-life situations is often reported. Communication services and supports for individuals with severe disabilities: Guidance for assessment and intervention. providing training for communication partners (including peers). Therefore, children with Down syndrome may require a detailed evaluation of syntactic production relative to comprehension along with a speech intelligibility inventory. Remain informed of research related to ID and advance the knowledge base related to the nature and treatment of ID.

Definition of intellectual disability. In addition to determining the type of speech and language treatment that is optimal for individuals with ID, SLPs consider other service delivery variablesincluding format, provider, timing, and settingthat may affect treatment outcomes.

The AAIDD definition is consistent with the diagnostic criteria for Intellectual Disability (Intellectual Developmental Disorder) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed. 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. Social interaction and pragmatic difficulties similar to those associated with ASD (e.g., staying on topic, taking turns in conversation, echolalia, perseveration; Haebig et al., 2020). Replacing challenging behaviors with appropriate and increasingly sophisticated communication skills has the potential to improve academic achievement, social relationships, and vocational outcomes. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajmg.c.30095, Shriberg, L.

Individuals with ID accompanied by language and communication disorders may experience behavioral difficulties as well as social and emotional problems. possible immobility. Scope of practice in speech-language pathology [Scope of practice]. (2006). More severe disabilities are more likely to result in early identification of ID (Daily et al., 2000). Plan for transitions from educational to community support services. ID is distinguished from LD, in that LD specifically refers to difficulty in at least one area of learning, such as reading, writing, and mathematics, with typical intellectual functioning. (2012). 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). 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). Clarifying the social roots of the disproportionate classification of racial minorities and males with learning disabilities. Politics, economics, and social policies also influence how individuals receive and experience health care. May have hearing loss (Rosenbaum & Rosenbloom, 2012). Fidler, D. J., Most, D.

Intellectual disability (ID) is characterized by. Intractable & Rare Diseases Research, 3(4), 134146. spoken language (listening and speaking). Descriptive terminology and philosophy concerning ID focuses on levels of support necessary to maximize an individuals ability, rather than strictly on functional limitations. Simply reporting data on health care disparities may leave the false impression that biological markers create those disparities. SLPs foster an appreciation for the importance of language in future learning and functioning when involving others in intervention activities. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-8749.2005.tb01041.x, Petersen, M. C., Kube, D. A., & Palmer, F. B. Variable difficulties, depending on the area of the brain affected and the severity, are experienced, which may include the following: Down syndrome is a genetic syndrome associated with intellectual disability, limitations in adaptive skills, and anatomical differences in tongue size (relative macroglossia). 108-446, 20 U.S.C. In our work, these are often skills or behaviors that can help adults with developmental disabilities better integrate into their community, live independently, or secure employment. 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. (2009). The speech-language assessment incorporates an evaluation of skills needed to support the individuals changing communication needs. Sensitivity to cultural and linguistic variables is necessary when selecting formal and informal assessment measures. Service-learning is a form of experiential learning that blends classroom instruction with community service. (2007). Collaborate with parents, teachers, caregivers, job coaches, peers, and others to promote communication development in individuals with ID.
