Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 53(1), 2943. Speech and language skills may begin to decline in adults with ID from about the age of 50 years even when dementia is not taken into account (J. E. Roberts et al., 2007). If the person does not initiate, an expectant look and a time delay might be sufficient to prompt language use. https://doi.org/10.1044/gero19.1.36, Lee, M., Bush, L., Martin, G.

The ASHA Action Center welcomes questions and requests for information from members and non-members. (2013). Assessment for individuals with ID involves multiple professionals due to the varying and far-reaching needs across developmental domains. (2014). An intellectual disability is a neurodevelopmental condition that develops in childhood. 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. (2010). Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 18(3), 253261. They also have difficulty with speech production due to low muscle tone and characteristic facial features (Berglund et al., 2001; J. E. Roberts et al., 2007).

D., & Romski, M. A. Aging in adults with intellectual disabilities. Framework for action on interprofessional education & collaborative practice. 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). Treatment typically encompasses a variety of techniques and approaches (Goldstein, 2006). Below are brief descriptions of treatment options commonly used to address communication problems associated with ID. 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). ID is a subset of developmental disability (DD). Historically, intellectual disability (previously termed "mental retardation") has been defined by significant cognitive deficitswhich has been established through a . World Health Organization. Fidler, D. J., Most, D. E., & Philofsky, A. D. (2009). The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 51(6), 660667. Ruiter, I. D. (2000). Individuals who have ID may have a need to use multiple languages and/or dialects to communicate with loved ones and peers. Other Practice Portal pages can serve as useful resources for treatment options, depending on the etiology of the ID. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2015.302903a, Hart, J. E., & Whalon, K. J. The implications of emergent literacy research for children with developmental disabilities. 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. Limiting communication means limiting access to peer groups and daily life activities. (aa) meet the child's needs that result . 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. Some prenatal causes such as environmental influences (e.g., exposure to lead-based paint) may be preventable. The scope of this page is centralized content about individuals with an intellectual disability (ID) and associated communication difficulties across the life span. (2001). Time delay can be used with individuals regardless of cognitive level or expressive communication abilities (e.g., Liber et al., 2008). Developmental delay (DD), ASD, and LD may be conditions commonly considered when making a differential diagnosis. Advocate for individuals with ID and their families at the local, state, and national levels. Importance of Setting Goals Andrew Carnegie once said, ''If you want. 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). Patterns of growth in verbal abilities among children with autism spectrum disorder. https://doi.org/10.1044/lle13.3.21, Guralnick, M. J. 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). Replacing challenging behaviors with appropriate and increasingly sophisticated communication skills has the potential to improve academic achievement, social relationships, and vocational outcomes. 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. 106-402, 102(8). (2005). L. No. Comprehensive assessment of individuals with ID involves assessment of the function of challenging behaviors, also known as problem behaviors. The level of support needed for adaptive functioning (i.e., performance of basic life skills) determines the severity level for ID. Please see the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities page on Intersectionality for further details. Functional skills are those skills a student needs to live independently. Mood disorders were found to be the most prevalent psychiatric disorder to co-occur in adults with ID (6.7%; Mazza et al., 2020). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ridd.2010.09.018, Loveall, S.
