K., Eng, E., Day, S. H., & Coyne-Beasley, T. (2015). (2019). 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). The use of incidental teaching may be effective in increasing engagement in children with disabilities (Casey et al., 2012).

(2001). ID is a subset of developmental disability (DD). possible immobility. Infant-Toddler Intervention: The Transdisciplinary Journal, 8(2), 109125. Early detection of hearing loss and routine monitoring are essential for ensuring positive communication outcomes. Intellectual disability can be caused by a problem that starts any time before a child turns 18 years old - even before birth. Fragile X syndrome and speech and language. The incidence/prevalence data in this section pertain to United Statesbased populations. https://doi.org/10.1044/lle13.3.21, Guralnick, M. J. Intellectual disability in cerebral palsy: A population-based retrospective study. Some prenatal causes such as environmental influences (e.g., exposure to lead-based paint) may be preventable. The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 51(6), 660667. The level of support needed for adaptive functioning (i.e., performance of basic life skills) determines the severity level for ID. Replacing challenging behaviors with appropriate and increasingly sophisticated communication skills has the potential to improve academic achievement, social relationships, and vocational outcomes. Adaptive behavior and cognitive function of adults with Down syndrome: Modeling change with age. 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. Morphosyntax is more difficult than semantics (Fidler et al., 2009), with variability in vocabulary development compared to children with other intellectual disabilities or typical development (Loveall et al., 2016). Integrated play groups is a treatment model designed to support children of different ages and abilities with ASD in play experiences with typical peers and siblings. . Descriptive terminology and philosophy concerning ID focuses on levels of support necessary to maximize an individuals ability, rather than strictly on functional limitations. Educate communication partners on effective strategies for supporting the use of AAC, where appropriate. Please see ASHAs resource on interprofessional collaborative practice for further information. spoken language (listening and speaking). https://www.aaidd.org/intellectual-disability/definition, American Psychiatric Association. (2014). See Treatment Principles for Individuals With an Intellectual Disability. 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. SLPs also play a role in enhancing adaptive communication functioning, as many of the adaptive skill areas rely on communication abilities. Identification and evaluation of mental retardation. Feeding and swallowing may be compromised (Sullivan, 2009). speech patterns (e.g., prosody) as well as receptive and expressive pragmatic and sociolinguistic communication skills. Yoder, P. J., & Warren, S. F. (2002). When examining data, use extreme caution: Consider the potential of bias in the testing as well as in the diagnostic and evaluation procedures. 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. With improvement in understanding of needs, IEPs have become more enriched. Diagnostic Adaptive Behavior Scale users manual. Develop culturally and linguistically responsive treatment plans for speech and language services, including social language goals and goals for assisting with self-regulatory and social interactive functions to enable participation in daily activities and curriculum to as great an extent as possible. ASD commonly co-occurs with ID (see the Incidence and Prevalence section above). Contributions of incidental teaching, developmental quotient, and peer interactions to child engagement. Additional information on literacy interventions can be found at the ASHA Practice Portals page on Written Language Disorders. 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). Terband, H., Spruit, M., & Maassen, B. Prevalence of chronic health conditions in children with intellectual disability: A systematic literature review. (2006). (2009). The treatment effect was . The SLP helps maximize independent functioning in aging adults with ID. Brookes. Comprehensive assessment of individuals with ID involves assessment of the function of challenging behaviors, also known as problem behaviors. Multiple communication partners besides the SLP may also be involved in service delivery across settings. Individuals with ID and associated language and communication disorders may demonstrate signs and symptoms of spoken and written language disorders across the domains of phonology, morphology and syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.

The World Health Organizations (WHOs) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework (WHO, 2001) and its Children & Youth version (WHO, 2007) recognize activity and participation limitations in addition to impairments in body functions and structures. Determine eligibility for speech and language 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. However, information gathered during SLP evaluation and treatment may be useful to medical professionals who may diagnose ID. Autism Research, 7(5), 608616. Politics, economics, and social policies also influence how individuals receive and experience health care. SLPs need to differentiate between ID and other disorders and conditions (e.g., spoken language disorders and hearing loss, selective mutism, and English as a second language) whose communication problems can be attributed mistakenly to ID (e.g., late language emergence and ASD). ABA is a treatment approach that uses principles of learning theory to bring about meaningful and positive change in behavior. Make sure your goals are SMART. These and other features include the following: Communication delays or limitations in social functioning may signal ASD, ID, or other conditions. See ASHAs Practice Portal page on Augmentative and Alternative Communication for further information. 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. Fetal alcohol syndrome is the largest environmental cause of ID. very basic nonverbal communication. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2788.2010.01318.x, Warburg, M. (2001).

Intervention in multiple contexts allows the person with ID to practice functional skills in meaningful situations. Aging in adults with intellectual disabilities. Phonological accuracy and intelligibility in connected speech of boys with Fragile X syndrome or Down syndrome. 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. https://doi.org/10.1044/1092-4388(2002/094).

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. 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. 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.
