SLPs are also mindful of gender presentations. The purpose of this study was to examine how 14 parents of children with autism and intellectual impairments responded to an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based psychological flexibility intervention programme. Assessment for AAC and/or other assistive technology. Screening may not be a needed step for individuals with intellectual disability (ID), particularly those with more severe limitations in intellectual or adaptive functioning. For many children, the cause of their intellectual disability is not known. 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. Discrete-trial functional analysis and functional communication training with three individuals with autism and severe problem behavior. The addition of functional performancenonacademic skills necessary for independent living (e.g., behavior, social skills, communication, independent living skills, and mobility)reflects an awareness that students with disabilities require more than academic supports if they are to meet their individual goals for long-term success. They also identify valued life outcomes for their children, such as. Delayed language development is often the first sign of a developmental problem. The implications of emergent literacy research for children with developmental disabilities. Introduction of written language materials in SLP intervention may build upon already developing oral language skills (Koppenhaver et al., 1991). 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). Twenty years of communication intervention research with individuals who have severe intellectual and developmental disabilities. Fragile X spectrum disorders. Educate communication partners on effective strategies for supporting the use of AAC, where appropriate. https://doi.org/10.1111/jar.12200, Berglund, E., Eriksson, M., & Johansson, I. Associated health conditions with higher prevalence in individuals with ID include the following: Addressing health inequalities as well as providing adequate health care and medical training may improve quality of life and increase longevity in individuals with ID. Clinical management of sensorimotor speech disorders. These changes reflect the movement away from a medical model and institutionalization and toward inclusive practices, self-advocacy, and self-determination. https://doi.org/10.1177/1525740112448214. Guralnick, M. J. B. G. (2008). The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is the national professional, scientific, and credentialing association for 228,000 members and affiliates who are audiologists; speech-language pathologists; speech, language, and hearing scientists; audiology and speech-language pathology support personnel; and students. Characteristics may include the following: Other conditions that may also co-occur with ID include the following: Individuals with ID may have more health problems than others in the general population, often because of inadequate health care, limited access to quality services (Krahn et al., 2006; van Schrojenstein Lantman-de Valk & Walsh, 2008), and communication limitations (Gentile et al., 2015). According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed. Pennington, L., Goldbart, J., & Marshall, J. Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 44(1), 179191.

Effects of prelinguistic milieu teaching and parent responsivity education on dyads involving children with intellectual disabilities. Improving communication between children with autism and their peers through the circle of friends: A small-scale intervention study. Bias should be addressed as it may affect quality of patientprovider interactions and has the potential to affect outcomes (Hall et al., 2015). Simply reporting data on health care disparities may leave the false impression that biological markers create those disparities. https://doi.org/10.1352/1944-7558-121.2.121, Brady, N. C., & Halle, J. W. (1997). Please see Co-Occurring Conditions and Disorders section above for further information regarding ID in specific populations. 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. Video-based instruction (also called video modeling) is an observational mode of teaching that uses video recordings to provide a model of the target behavior or skill. Please see NJCs resource titled Myths About Adult Communicators With Severe Disabilities. Examples of such considerations follow: Persons with ID and their families are integral to assessment, goal selection, and treatment. (2002b).

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. Audiologists and SLPs need to consider social determinants of health and their own implicit biases as both may influence assessment and treatment outcomes for ID. Plan for transitions from educational to community support services. For example: The professional roles and activities in speech-language pathology include clinical/educational services (assessment, planning, and treatment); prevention and advocacy; and education, administration, and research.

Additionally, LD is not characterized by intellectual limitations. creating opportunities for meaningful activities across environments (Beadle-Brown et al., 2016; Brady et al., 2016). Time delay can be used with individuals regardless of cognitive level or expressive communication abilities (e.g., Liber et al., 2008). Refer to other professionals to rule out other conditions, determine etiology, and facilitate access to comprehensive services (e.g., physical therapy, occupational therapy). Eligibility is an area that has continued to evolve as the rights of individuals with ID have been increasingly well recognized. Develop culturally and linguistically responsive treatment plans for speech and language services, including social language goals and goals for assisting with self-regulatory and social interactive functions to enable participation in daily activities and curriculum to as great an extent as possible. Scope of practice in speech-language pathology [Scope of practice]. 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.

Prevalence refers to the number of people who are living with the condition in a given time period. Individuals with ID accompanied by language and communication disorders may experience behavioral difficulties as well as social and emotional problems. Video recordings of desired behaviors are observed and then imitated by the individual (Darden-Brunson et al., 2008).

ASD is a neurologically based, heterogeneous condition, characterized by a range of social communication skills and the presence of restricted, repetitive behaviors, which are present in early childhood. Addressing feeding disorders in children on the autism spectrum in school-based settings: Physiological and behavioral issues. Individuals with ID commonly experience stigmatization, discrimination, and health inequalities across cultures (Allison & Strydom, 2009). DD is commonly used as a temporary diagnosis in young children at risk for ID. A medical practitioner or team may have difficulty making a diagnosis of ID or ASD due to similarities and comorbidity between the two conditions. Prelinguistic milieu teaching applies natural environmental cues and prompts to promote development of gestures, gaze alternation, vocalizations, play, and other prelinguistic skills (Warren et al., 2008). (2013). Government Printing Office. Frea, W. D., & McNerney, E. K. (2008). A lack of culturally and linguistically sensitive assessment measures and inherent assessment bias contribute to misrepresentation and disproportionality in the identification of individuals with ID.
