They may need continued support to facilitate a successful transition to adulthood. (2014). Incidence refers to the number of new cases identified in a specified time period. Informal testing may be useful to determine the individuals achievement of developmental milestones. Fragile X syndrome and speech and language. (2001). While race/ethnicity influenced the likelihood of diagnosis, at best, it was unclear why. See the Treatment section of the Intellectual Disability evidence map for pertinent scientific evidence, expert opinion, and client/caregiver perspective. The treatment effect was . A demonstration of behavioral support for young children with autism. Variations in study design, terminology definitions, sample size and characteristics, and diagnostic tools can also affect incidence and prevalence data. The implications of emergent literacy research for children with developmental disabilities. There is also an evolving cultural awareness of ableism (discrimination favoring able-bodied people). Mac Keith Press. Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 29(5), 409421. LEAP is a multifaceted program for preschool children with ASD and their parents (Strain & Hoyson, 2000). Responsiveness to the child's communicative attempts. Terry's Individualized Education Program (IEP) includes goals and objectives specifically designed for . 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. 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). It includes training in everyday environments and activities, rather than only at therapy time. Prevalence of chronic health conditions in children with intellectual disability: A systematic literature review. Participants included 3 high school students with severe disabilities enrolled in a private faith-based school . Below are brief descriptions of treatment options commonly used to address communication problems associated with ID. ), Feeding and nutrition in children with neurodevelopmental disability (pp. Obesity and obesity-related secondary conditions in adolescents with intellectual/developmental disabilities. Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities, 24(3), 133146. nonsymbolic (e.g., gestures, vocalizations, problem behaviors) and/or symbolic (e.g., words, signs, pictures) communication. https://doi.org/10.1044/gero19.1.36, Lee, M., Bush, L., Martin, G. E., Barstein, J., Maltman, N., Klusek, J., & Losh, M. (2017). However, some adults with IDparticularly those with psychomotor impairments or other comorbid conditions that affect feeding and swallowingmay experience dysphagia-related problems as they age (Lazenby-Paterson & Crawford, 2014). 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. Per the Institute of Medicine (US) Committee on Nervous System Disorders in Developing Countries (2001), DD is a set of limitations that begin in infancy or childhood, with delays in reaching developmental milestones or limitations in one or more of the following domains: The Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 defines or characterizes DD as follows: Lifelong, early-onset conditions that result in substantial functional limitationsbut not necessarily concomitant intellectual limitationsinclude autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or cerebral palsy. Collaborate with parents, teachers, caregivers, job coaches, peers, and others to promote communication development in individuals with ID. However, the aging process may be premature in adults with ID as compared with the general population (e.g., Lin et al., 2011). Case history, including medical, educational, and vocational status as well as teacher, caregiver, employer, and client/patient perspectives. https://doi.org/10.1093/med:psych/9780195317046.003.0012, Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000, Pub. Mood disorders were found to be the most prevalent psychiatric disorder to co-occur in adults with ID (6.7%; Mazza et al., 2020). Studies reported results based on gender; however, there were no indications whether the data collected were based on sex assigned at birth, gender identity, or both. Physical health of patients with intellectual disability. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report Surveillance Summaries, 69(4), 112. Better health, better lives: Children and young people with intellectual disabilities and their families. See the Service Delivery section of the Intellectual Disability evidence map for pertinent scientific evidence, expert opinion, and client/caregiver perspective. The goal of treatment is to minimize the potential effects of disabilities on clients and their families and to maximize the likelihood of desirable outcomes. 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. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ridd.2011.07.005, Shifrer, D.

Observing speech production, language comprehension and production, social communication, and literacy skills in natural environments. 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). Individuals with ID accompanied by language and communication disorders may experience behavioral difficulties as well as social and emotional problems. Use of this information to identify and teach simple and potentially more efficient communication skills that serve the same functions. SLPs foster an appreciation for the importance of language in future learning and functioning when involving others in intervention activities.

These can include parents implementing interventions described above, such as enhanced milieu teaching (Kaiser & Roberts, 2013), prelinguistic milieu teaching (Yoder & Warren, 2002), and AAC (Romski et al., 2010). Definition of intellectual disability. 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). (2014). https://doi.org/10.1044/0161-1461(2008/025). https://doi.org/10.1111/jar.12654, McGee, G. G., Morrier, M. J., & Daly, T. (1999). Conducting a hearing screening to rule out hearing loss as a possible contributing factor to language difficulties. ID is a subset of developmental disability (DD). (2012). ID was present in 45% of children recorded in the cerebral palsy registry (Reid et al., 2018). Enhanced Milieu Teaching: EMT is one example of an intervention occurring in relevant contexts that is intended to treat communication delays associated with ID. Speech intelligibility problems, which may result from disturbances in voice, articulation, resonance, fluency, or prosody (Kent & Vorperian, 2013). Speech disfluencies in children with Down syndrome. Functional assessment strategies for young children with autism. Of the children aged 621 years served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA), 6.7% of students were identified with ID (U.S. Department of Education, 2021).

Provider refers to the person offering the treatment (e.g., SLP, trained volunteer, caregiver). 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. https://doi.org/10.1177/1053451207310346, Hawkins, B. In some cases, an IQ cutoff score is used (e.g., 70) as a criterion for diagnosis, whereas in other cases, the diagnostic criteria are more qualitative in nature (e.g., onset in childhood with limitations in adaptive behavior and intellectual functioning). Intellectual disability is a disorder marked by below-average intellectual function and a lack of skills necessary for independent daily living. Oxford University Press. anxiety disorders (Oeseburg et al., 2011), physical coordination and tone issues (Vuijk et al., 2010), obesity-related problems (Rimmer et al., 2010), Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander: 6.8%, developmental and sociocultural standards for personal independence and community participation, independent functioning in one or more daily life activities (e.g., communication, social participation, and independent living) across settings, difficulties in pre-academic and academic learning (reading, writing, mathematics), difficulty understanding concepts of time and money, problems with abstract thinking (concrete approach to problem solving), difficulties in executive function such as, difficulties with functional use of academic skills such as money management and time management, limitations in language and communication skills, more concrete and less complex spoken language (if used), compared with same-age peers, limited vocabulary and grammatical skills, receptive language that may be limited to comprehension of simple speech and gestures, communication that may occur through nonspoken means onlysuch as gestures, signs, facial expressions, or aided systems (e.g., AAC), challenges with social judgment and decision making, difficulty understanding social cues and rules, emotional and behavioral regulation difficulties that may adversely affect social interactions, requiring different levels of support for daily life activities such as. Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 54(11), 955965. It is important for individuals with ID to have the opportunity for literacy intervention, including a focus on phonological processing/word decoding and reading comprehension (Barker et al., 2013). 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. https://doi.org/10.1044/lle18.3.87, Allison, L., & Strydom, A. Each subsequent objective should lay out a condition, the desired . (2017). Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 31(4), 377384. Mental Retardation, 41(1), 728. If the person does not initiate, an expectant look and a time delay might be sufficient to prompt language use. The condition begins in the developmental period. FCT is a behavioral intervention program that combines the assessment of the communicative functions of problem behavior with ABA procedures to teach alternative responses. Focused stimulation approach to language intervention. FCT has a stepwise progression, as follows: Incidental teaching is a teaching technique that uses behavioral procedures to teach elaborated language; naturally occurring teaching opportunities are provided based on the individuals interests.
