An incidental teaching approach to early intervention for toddlers with autism. Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (5th ed.). For example, a physical therapist and an SLP may work together to improve respiratory support, which can, in turn, enhance speech production and intelligibility. Fetal alcohol syndrome is the largest environmental cause of ID. The National Joint Committee for the Communication Needs of Persons With Severe Disabilities (NJC) emphasizes that there are no prerequisites for communication (NJC, 2002a, 2002b). Functional analysis of communicative behaviors. Service-learning is a form of experiential learning that blends classroom instruction with community service. https://doi.org/10.1097/IYC.0b013e31824cbac4, Cceres, A. S. J., Keren, N., Booth, R., & Happ, F. (2014). possible immobility. (1998). Eligibility is an area that has continued to evolve as the rights of individuals with ID have been increasingly well recognized. The Hanen programs are parent training approaches focused on supporting language and communication development in children with disabilities. Communication abilities in individuals with ID vary and may be nonsymbolic (e.g., gestures, vocalizations, specific behaviors) and/or symbolic (e.g., words, signs, pictures). (2001). Milieu language teaching and other related procedures offer systematic approaches for prompting children to expand their repertoire of communication functions and to use increasingly complex language skills (Kaiser & Roberts, 2013). Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 29(5), 409421. Stuttering is more prevalent (Eggers & Van Eerdenbrugh, 2018). Using time-delay to improve social play skills with peers for children with autism. The purpose of this case study was to examine how students with severe disabilities participated in service-learning at a food pantry and the curricular goals they addressed. Research in Developmental Disabilities, 32(2), 419436. The techniques can be used in both structured (e.g., classroom) and everyday (e.g., family dinnertime) settings and in one-on-one or group instruction. (2018). A goal is what you want the student to accomplish. (2017). Terry is an 18-year-old woman with a diagnosis of moderate-to-severe intellectual impairment of unknown etiology. In J. K. Luiselli, D. C.

Individuals with ID have limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior, whereas individuals with ASD have a wide range of intellectual abilities and adaptive behavior. 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. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report Surveillance Summaries, 69(4), 112. Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities Research Reviews, 12(1), 7082. 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. https://www.jstor.org/stable/26420429, Cole, K. N., Dale, P. S., & Mills, P. E. (1990). (2009). Identifying and treating behaviors early in development may promote appropriate communication using alternative modes and prevent negative long-term consequences. 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). The Down syndrome behavioural phenotype: Taking a developmental approach. 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. Mood disorders were found to be the most prevalent psychiatric disorder to co-occur in adults with ID (6.7%; Mazza et al., 2020). These individuals may have physical, programmatic, or communication The treatment modes/modalities described above (e.g., AAC) may be used to implement these treatment options. American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 20(3), 180199. Maenner, M. J., Shaw, K. A., Baio, J., Washington, A., Patrick, M., DiRienzo, M., Christensen, D. L., Wiggins, L.

Focused stimulation is a treatment approach in which a child is given multiple examples of a specific target (e.g., vocabulary item) within meaningful contexts. Sensitivity to cultural and linguistic variables is necessary when selecting formal and informal assessment measures. The clinician can prompt with a question (e.g., What do you want?) or model a request (e.g., Say I need paint). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK223473/, Kaiser, A. P., & Roberts, M. Y. 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. www.SensoryProfile.com Goal Attainment Scaling is a mathematical technique for measuring achievement of treatment goals/objectives.

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). Intervention in School and Clinic, 44(3), 116120. Please see ASHAs resource on interprofessional collaborative practice for further information. SLPs also play a role in enhancing adaptive communication functioning, as many of the adaptive skill areas rely on communication abilities. 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). U.S. Department of Education. Terry's Individualized Education Program (IEP) includes goals and objectives specifically designed for . 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. An FCT approach may be considered with students with ID to replace challenging behaviors with appropriate communication alternatives (Brady & Halle, 1997; Martin et al., 2005; Schmidt et al., 2014). Thus, functional behavioral assessments should include multiple components in order to identify the antecedents that trigger the behavior and the consequences that maintain the behavior. Assessment for individuals with ID involves multiple professionals due to the varying and far-reaching needs across developmental domains. Terms like individuals with intellectual disability have replaced the older terms of mentally retarded persons or the mentally retarded. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2788.2001.00348.x, Warren, S. F., Fey, M. E., Finestack, L. H., Brady, N. C., Bredin-Oja, S. L., & Fleming, K. K. (2008). (2021). (2020) also revealed that the following psychiatric disorders were also found to be prevalent in adults with ID: It is important to distinguish signs and symptoms of intellectual disability (ID) from communication differences through case history and comprehensive assessment. This includes math, reading, writing and functional goal ideas. https://doi.org/10.1093/med:psych/9780195317046.003.0005, Gentile, J. P., Cowan, A.

Individuals with ID have intellectual deficits as well as deficits in adaptive functioning that include conceptual, social, and practical domains (APA, 2013). Please see Co-Occurring Conditions and Disorders section above for further information regarding ID in specific populations. SLPs need to (a) be aware of culturally associated beliefs about the cause of ID, (b) provide person-centered care, (c) build working relationships with caregivers, and (d) address communication barriers (Allison & Strydom, 2009).

Infant-Toddler Intervention: The Transdisciplinary Journal, 8(2), 109125. For example, the time delay between initial instruction and any additional instruction or prompting is gradually increased as the individual becomes more proficient at the skill being taught. Delayed language development is often the first sign of a developmental problem. Difficulty with narrative discourse (Colle et al., 2008). According to the 42nd Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA; U.S. Department of Education, 2021), the percentages of students, aged 621 years, receiving IDEA services under the category of ID within each racial/ethnic group are as follows: Of the children with autism spectrum disorder, 33% were identified with ID (Maenner et al., 2020).

For children with ID and other DDs, intervention may focus on factors influencing cognitive development and social competence (e.g., Guralnick, 2017; Mahoney & Perales, 2005). DD is commonly used as a temporary diagnosis in young children at risk for ID. SLPs typically educate team members about the communication functions of such behaviors and develop methods for replacing them with other forms of communication behavior. Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 56(1), 178210. Please also see NJCs resource titled. Therefore, children with Down syndrome may require a detailed evaluation of syntactic production relative to comprehension along with a speech intelligibility inventory. significant limitations in intellectual functioning (e.g., learning, reasoning, and problem solving). SLPs help ensure that communication partners recognize and respond to communication attempts and build on the interests, initiations, and requests of persons with ID. Target-level language. There are no prerequisites for communication supports and services, including the use of AAC (Brady et al., 2016; Romski & Sevcik, 2005). Differential diagnosis between ASD and ID may be challenging as some of the core features of ASD related to social communication and language skills, and presence of restricted, repetitive behaviors may overlap with limitations noted in ID.

A., MapelLentz, S., & Hall-Lande, J. The focus of prior studies was to review and discuss health care disparities across racial/ethnic groups. The importance of early intervention for children who are at high risk for communication disorders cannot be overstated. There has also been the movement toward recognizing the fundamental communication rights of people with severe disabilities. Students with intellectual disabilities are among the least likely students to spend a significant amount of time in general education classrooms.
