This lesson explores four essential components in educational goal setting for students with intellectual disabilities. 820). Interprofessional collaborative practice consists of core ideals described by the WHO that include patient- and family-centered, community-oriented, and relationship-focused service delivery by a team of professionals working together with common goals for the individual with ID (WHO, 2010b). Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 38, 2840. 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. Small groups of children play together under the guidance of an adult facilitator. Please also see NJCs resource titled. ), Feeding and nutrition in children with neurodevelopmental disability (pp. The ASHA Leader, 8(19), 67. Symptoms of profound ID include: inability to understand or comply with requests or instructions. Intellectual disability is a disorder marked by below-average intellectual function and a lack of skills necessary for independent daily living.

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. Please see Co-Occurring Conditions and Disorders section above for further information regarding ID in specific populations. Dysarthria is the most common speech disorder (McNeil, 2009). https://doi.org/10.1007/s10803-007-0357-5, Cone-Wesson, B. 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). The Journal of Pediatrics, 154(3), 338344. (2014). The implications of emergent literacy research for children with developmental disabilities. This may influence families willingness or desire to seek or accept services. Terminology continues to evolve, with some individuals preferring identity-first language (e.g., autistic person). Ellis Weismer, S., Venker, C. E., & Robertson, S. (2017). Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report Surveillance Summaries, 69(4), 112. Children with Down syndrome often have specific limitations in expressive syntax relative to semantics. Early detection of hearing loss and routine monitoring are essential for ensuring positive communication outcomes. 83110). How often do you take data? social interaction and social communication. Time delay is fading the use of prompts during instruction. Common challenging behaviors include aggressive, disruptive, self-injurious, and stereotypic behaviors.

Using informal measures, such as those designed by the clinician and tailored to the population being screened (e.g., age, developmental level, language[s] used). Journal of Learning Disabilities, 44(3), 246257. Politics, economics, and social policies also influence how individuals receive and experience health care. Stop an undesirable or inappropriate behavior when asked or warned to do so. It can be used with a large variety of individuals.

Terry's Individualized Education Program (IEP) includes goals and objectives specifically designed for . Qualifications for providing ABA therapy may vary by state; check with your state, as this may affect reimbursement. Intervention in multiple contexts allows the person with ID to practice functional skills in meaningful situations. See the Incidence and Prevalence section for more information. A randomized trial of longitudinal effects of low-intensity responsivity education/prelinguistic milieu teaching. 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. These conditions can also cause other issues, such as behavioral disorders, speech or language difficulties, seizures, and trouble with movement. Use of this information to identify and teach simple and potentially more efficient communication skills that serve the same functions.

Partner with families in assessment and intervention with individuals with ID to develop individualized culturally and linguistically relevant plans for their family. Parental reports of spoken language skills in children with Down syndrome. SLPs are also mindful of gender presentations. The level of support needed for adaptive functioning (i.e., performance of basic life skills) determines the severity level for ID. 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. https://doi.org/10.1177/109830079900100202, Eggers, K., & Van Eerdenbrugh, S. (2018). These differing aspects of personal and social identity and how they converge are known as intersectionality. Assessments address components within the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (WHO, 2001) framework, including body structures/functions, activities/participation, and contextual factors. Service delivery decisions are made based on the individuals communication needs relative to their family, community, school, or work setting. See ASHAs Practice Portal pages on Hearing Loss in Children and Hearing Loss in Adultsfor more information. Prolonged unintelligible speech, particularly in connected speech (Barnes et al., 2009). . Comprehensive assessment includes a hearing screening and referral for a complete audiological assessment if hearing concerns are indicated. See the Service Delivery section of the Intellectual Disability evidence map for pertinent scientific evidence, expert opinion, and client/caregiver perspective. SLPs also play a role in enhancing adaptive communication functioning, as many of the adaptive skill areas rely on communication abilities.

Communication intervention is sensitive to cultural and linguistic diversity and addresses components within the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (WHO, 2001) framework, including body structures/functions, activities/participation, and contextual factors (personal and environmental). 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. Perspectives on Gerontology, 19(1), 3643. Please see the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities page on Intersectionality for further details. 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.
