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). Team members determine strengths and limitations in adaptive functioning and collaboratively determine the levels of support needed across conceptual, social, and practical domains. American Family Physician, 61(4), 10591067. Most healthy adults will not experience problems with eating, drinking, and swallowing, despite age-related changes in the muscles used for feeding and swallowing (Lazenby, 2008). 2756). (2001). 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. Brookes. The DSM-5 uses severity level to define an individual with ID as mild, moderate, severe, or profound. 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). https://doi.org/10.1044/gero19.1.36, Lee, M., Bush, L., Martin, G.

Members of the Committee were Howard Goldstein (chair), Kevin Cole, Philip S. Dale, Jon F. Miller, Patricia A. Prelock, Krista M. Wilkinson, and Diane Paul (ex officio). ABA has been used for individuals with ID, particularly those who also have ASD (e.g., Spreckley & Boyd, 2009). Growth in early reading skills is influenced by environmental as well as genetic factors (Petrill et al., 2010). https://doi.org/10.1352/1944-7558-115-5.364, Spreckley, M., & Boyd, R. (2009). Screening does not result in a diagnosis of a disorder but, rather, determines the need for further assessment and/or referral for other services. inability to care for their . 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. Fetal alcohol syndrome is the largest environmental cause of ID. Screen individuals who may have hearing, speech, language, communication, and/or swallowing difficulties and determine the need for further assessment and/or referral for other services. L.

Based on data from the 2011 meta-analysis of international studies, the female-to-male ratio of adults with ID varied between 0.7 and 0.9 (i.e., seven to nine females with ID for every 10 males with the condition; Maulik et al., 2013). (2008). Collaborate with persons with ID and their families regarding communication-related issues and provide education aimed at enhancing communication development and preventing further complications related to ID. 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). Culture and cultural identities are complex and dynamic. Below are brief descriptions of treatment options commonly used to address communication problems associated with ID. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2015.302903a, Hart, J. E., & Whalon, K. J. Individuals with ID have intellectual deficits as well as deficits in adaptive functioning that include conceptual, social, and practical domains (APA, 2013).

Speech intelligibility problems, which may result from disturbances in voice, articulation, resonance, fluency, or prosody (Kent & Vorperian, 2013). The SLP recognizes that individual family values and available resources are central to the decision-making process. Individuals with ID commonly experience stigmatization, discrimination, and health inequalities across cultures (Allison & Strydom, 2009). The study sample included 5 learners with mild Intellectual Disabilities (3 Non Syndromic-aged between 10 and 15), 2 with syndromic Intellectual Disability 'Down syndrome', aged 16+ and 2 special . This list of resources is not exhaustive and the inclusion of any specific resource does not imply endorsement from ASHA. This is in no way meant to be a document to just copy and paste from. It can be caused by injury, disease, or a problem in the brain. A lack of generalization of these skills to real-life situations is often reported. Terms like individuals with intellectual disability have replaced the older terms of mentally retarded persons or the mentally retarded. There is also an evolving cultural awareness of ableism (discrimination favoring able-bodied people). In addition to determining the type of speech and language treatment that is optimal for individuals with ID, SLPs consider other service delivery variablesincluding format, provider, timing, and settingthat may affect treatment outcomes. a severe, chronic disability in an individual 5 years of age or older, results in substantial functional limitations in three or more areas of life activity such as. https://doi.org/10.1177/1525740112448214. significant limitations in intellectual functioning (e.g., learning, reasoning, and problem solving).

For example, a physical therapist and an SLP may work together to improve respiratory support, which can, in turn, enhance speech production and intelligibility. They also ensure the rights of each communicator in accordance with the National Joint Committee for the Communication Needs of Persons With Severe Disabilities Communication Bill of Rights (Brady et al., 2016).

Obey the commands and instructions of others in emergency situations. Physical health of patients with intellectual disability. An intellectual disability is a neurodevelopmental condition that develops in childhood. 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).

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. 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. intellectual disabilities have challenges in areas of problem solving and evaluation.

Cerebral palsy is a motor disorder that may affect speech, language, and swallowing. Using a speech- generating device to enhance communicative abilities for an adult with moderate intellectual disability. Selection of target behaviors for individuals with ID has increased alongside understanding of the specific communication disorders associated with various diagnoses. 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. (2021).
