Tager-Flusberg, H., & Caronna, E. (2007). Replacing challenging behaviors with appropriate and increasingly sophisticated communication skills has the potential to improve academic achievement, social relationships, and vocational outcomes.

Definition of the challenging behavior and the antecedent and consequent variables hypothesized to motivate them (Dunlap & Fox, 1999; Lucyshyn et al., 2002; Schwartz et al., 2001). With extra guidance and preparedness, students with intellectual disabilities can acquire and benefit from these skills in their practical life (Spooner, 2015). (2005). The SLPs input may be useful to the medical team when considering comorbidity or differential diagnosis between the two disorders. The treatment modes/modalities described above (e.g., AAC) may be used to implement these treatment options. L. No. Adults with ID experience the same age-related health problems and functional decline observed in the general elderly population (Lazenby-Paterson & Crawford, 2014). Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 45(5), 424438. 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. Access to communication services and supports: Concerns regarding the application of restrictive eligibility policies [Technical report]. Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, 20(2), 116122. Stuttering is more prevalent (Eggers & Van Eerdenbrugh, 2018). SLPs support the linguistic needs to facilitate those connections.

N., Dale, P. S., & Mills, P. E. (1990). 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). Partner with families in assessment and intervention with individuals with ID to develop individualized culturally and linguistically relevant plans for their family. See ASHAs Scope of Practice in Speech-Language Pathology (ASHA, 2016b). This assumption is a concern when applied to individuals with disabilities in general and to individuals with ID in particular (Casby, 1992; Cole et al., 1990; Notari et al., 1992). 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.

BMJ, 337, 14081412. Physical health of patients with intellectual disability. Individuals with ID of all ages are eligible for SLP services because enhancement of communication skills is needed to function effectively, regardless of age or cognitive level relative to communication abilities.

Difficulties with social communication (Coggins et al., 2007). Using time-delay to improve social play skills with peers for children with autism. 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). United Statesbased studies reported the prevalence of ID to be 7.9 per 1,000 adults (L. L. Anderson et al., 2019). Scripts are culturally and linguistically relevant. However, the aging process may be premature in adults with ID as compared with the general population (e.g., Lin et al., 2011). Feeding and swallowing may be compromised (Sullivan, 2009).

Prior studies have highlighted over- and underrepresentation of ID and/or learning disability (LD) identification across race and ethnicity (e.g., Shifrer, 2018; Shifrer et al., 2011). Participants included 3 high school students with severe disabilities enrolled in a private faith-based school . 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). (2021). 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. Overall pooled prevalence of approximately 37% of adults with ID had a co-occurring psychiatric disorder. The effectiveness of parent-implemented language interventions: A meta-analysis. A medical practitioner or team may have difficulty making a diagnosis of ID or ASD due to similarities and comorbidity between the two conditions. See Treatment Principles for Individuals With an Intellectual Disability. Relevant research indicates that language intervention benefits children with ID even when no languagecognition discrepancy exists (Carr & Felce, 2000; Cole et al., 1990; Snell et al., 2010).
