Treatment also considers each individuals peer group(s), family/caregiver, and social communities and provides opportunities to foster appropriate interaction within those settings, such as. 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). 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.

Please see NJCs resource titled Myths About Adult Communicators With Severe Disabilities. This lesson explores four essential components in educational goal setting for students with intellectual disabilities. Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (5th ed.). ABA techniques have been used by SLPs in collaboration with ABA therapists to help build a variety of skills (e.g., communication, social skills, self-control, and self-monitoring) and help generalize these skills to other situations. Prevalence of chronic health conditions in children with intellectual disability: A systematic literature review. Increased risk for language disorders (Pennington et al., 2005). The level of support needed for adaptive functioning (i.e., performance of basic life skills) determines the severity level for ID. (2019). Enhancing social problem solving in children with autism and normal children through computer-assisted instruction. For example, peer interactions, use of social media, and communication skills needed to optimize acceptance and relationship development may be important to teenagers with ID.

In the United States, the overall prevalence of ID was estimated to be 11.013.4 per 1,000 children and adolescents (L. L. Anderson et al., 2019). Simply put, a functional goal is a target skill or behavior that can be measured in specific terms. The effectiveness of parent-implemented language interventions: A meta-analysis. Incidental teaching requires initiation by the individual, which serves to begin a language teaching episode. Adaptive behavior and cognitive function of adults with Down syndrome: Modeling change with age. Individuals with ID commonly experience stigmatization, discrimination, and health inequalities across cultures (Allison & Strydom, 2009). SLPs may be part of a team making a differential diagnosis between ID and autism spectrum disorder or other conditions. Selection of format type depends on each individual and their needs and goals.

Down syndrome: Common otolaryngologic manifestations. A demonstration of behavioral support for young children with autism. 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.

Replacing challenging behaviors with appropriate and increasingly sophisticated communication skills has the potential to improve academic achievement, social relationships, and vocational outcomes. See ASHAs Intellectual Disability evidence map for summaries of the available research on this topic. Persistent otitis media; conductive and sensorineural hearing loss is common (Shott, 2006). Growth in early reading skills is influenced by environmental as well as genetic factors (Petrill et al., 2010). Data from the 20132014 Annual Survey of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children and Youth revealed that 9.2% of students who are deaf and hard of hearing were also identified with ID (Office of Research Support and International Affairs, 2014).

Participate as a member of the school or adult service planning team to determine appropriate educational and/or community services. They may need continued support to facilitate a successful transition to adulthood. 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). For example, evaluators determine if failure to recognize a photo of a party reflects word retrieval challenges or is due to an unfamiliar representation of a party to an individual.

For example, individuals with Down syndrome may be at higher risk for earlier onset of dementia when compared with the general population (Burt et al., 2005; Hawkins et al., 2003). Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 56(1), 178210. These approaches can be provided by SLPs and/or caregivers. Screening may not be a needed step for individuals with intellectual disability (ID), particularly those with more severe limitations in intellectual or adaptive functioning. The absence of prerequisite cognitive or other skills for determining eligibility is also of concern for individuals with ID. Components of these programs include parent instruction, joint interaction with parents/caregivers and individuals with developmental delays and other deficits, and video coaching (Weitzman et al., 2017). 106-402, 102(8). Both formal and informal assessment approaches can be used. 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.

Descriptive terminology and philosophy concerning ID focuses on levels of support necessary to maximize an individuals ability, rather than strictly on functional limitations. Down syndrome is the largest genetic cause of ID, and Fragile X syndrome is the largest inherited cause of ID. Speech impairment in Down syndrome: A review. Students with language learning disabilities are at a disadvantage in school due to having reduced/limited background knowledge and language proficiency as compared to typically developing peers. Celia Hooper, ASHA vice president for professional practices in speech-language pathology (20032005), served as the Board liaison. Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 33(2), 126138. Common challenging behaviors include aggressive, disruptive, self-injurious, and stereotypic behaviors. Assessments address components within the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (WHO, 2001) framework, including body structures/functions, activities/participation, and contextual factors.

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. The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 51(6), 660667. Increased prevalence of hearing loss has been reported in individuals with ID as compared with the general population.

More contextually based models of service delivery that occur in everyday contexts are consistent with the natural environments philosophy and the move toward inclusive educational programming (Paul-Brown & Caperton, 2001).

See the Incidence and Prevalence section for more information. 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. 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). Assessment and intervention are typically collaborative processes involving multiple providers. See ASHAs Practice Portal page on Augmentative and Alternative Communication.

The SLP helps maximize independent functioning in aging adults with ID. Adults with ID experience the same age-related health problems and functional decline observed in the general elderly population (Lazenby-Paterson & Crawford, 2014).

Intellectual disability is a disorder marked by below-average intellectual function and a lack of skills necessary for independent daily living. SLPs determine which options are appropriate by taking into consideration the individuals age, language profile, communication needs, factors related to language functioning, the presence of coexisting conditions, communicative opportunities and partner supports, linguistic needs, cultural background and values, and available research evidence. Frea, W. D., & McNerney, E. K. (2008).
