Delay or absence of spoken communication (D. K. Anderson et al., 2007). Definition: Intellectual disability is a disability characterized by significant limitations both in intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior, which covers many everyday social and practical skills. Culture and cultural identities are complex and dynamic. May have feeding problems (Twachtman-Reilly et al., 2008). https://doi.org/10.1044/1092-4388(2002/094). These limitations will cause a child to learn and develop more slowly than a typical child. Delayed language development is often the first sign of a developmental problem. Yoder, P. J., & Warren, S.

Families offer important information about the strengths, challenges, and needs for the individual with ID. 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). Clinical issues: Language intervention considerations for children with mental retardation and developmental disabilities. Case history, including medical, educational, and vocational status as well as teacher, caregiver, employer, and client/patient perspectives. Service-learning is a form of experiential learning that blends classroom instruction with community service. Timing refers to the scheduling of intervention relative to the diagnosis. SLPs may be part of a team making a differential diagnosis between ID and autism spectrum disorder or other conditions. Cognitive referencing rests on the assumption that language skills cannot improve beyond cognitive ability. https://doi.org/10.1044/1092-4388(2009/08-0001).

Persistent otitis media; conductive and sensorineural hearing loss is common (Shott, 2006). These methods are based on behavioral/operant principles of learning; they involve examining the antecedents that elicit a certain behavior, along with the consequences that follow that behavior, and then making adjustments in this chain to increase desired behaviors and/or decrease inappropriate ones. 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). Please see the section on Social Determinants of Health under Cultural and Linguistic Considerations in the Assessment section below for further information.

Circle of friends is a treatment approach that uses the classroom peer group to improve the social acceptance of a classmate with special needs by setting up a special group or circle of friends. The focus is on building behaviors that are valued in everyday settings. The treatment effect was . Target-level language. 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. www.SensoryProfile.com Goal Attainment Scaling is a mathematical technique for measuring achievement of treatment goals/objectives. The application of skills to new and appropriate situations is reinforced as naturally as possible as such situations occur (Kalyva & Avramidis, 2005; Whitaker et al., 1998). Intervention for individuals with ID typically incorporates a variety of options and techniques in combination. (2005). Activity schedules/visual supports include objects, photographs, drawings, or written words that act as cues or prompts to help individuals.
