Scope of practice in speech-language pathology [Scope of practice]. 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. Using informal measures, such as those designed by the clinician and tailored to the population being screened (e.g., age, developmental level, language[s] used). United Statesbased studies reported the prevalence of ID to be 7.9 per 1,000 adults (L. L. Anderson et al., 2019). The learners self-modeling can be videotaped for later review. .

Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, 11(4), 2238. Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 54(11), 955965. Fragile X spectrum disorders. Assessment for individuals with ID involves multiple professionals due to the varying and far-reaching needs across developmental domains. These teams establish and coordinate services that are family centered, culturally appropriate, comprehensive, and compassionate and that produce meaningful life outcomes. It indicates a failure to achieve age-appropriate developmental milestones (Battaglia & Carey, 2003; Petersen et al., 1998). 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).

Components of these programs include parent instruction, joint interaction with parents/caregivers and individuals with developmental delays and other deficits, and video coaching (Weitzman et al., 2017). Simply put, a functional goal is a target skill or behavior that can be measured in specific terms. As indicated in the ASHA Code of Ethics (ASHA, 2016a), SLPs who serve individuals with ID should be specifically educated and appropriately trained to do so. (2020). Individuals with ID may experience challenges in acquiring the skills necessary for independent living and achieving success in postsecondary education/training programs, employment settings, and social situations. SLPs may need to consider the possibility of mild cognitive impairment, a condition characterized by subtle cognitive decline that may lead to dementia (see ASHAs Practice Portal page on Dementia), if treating adults with ID with new communication concerns. Speech impairment in boys with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. (2005). The recommended citation for this Practice Portal page is: American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Careful consideration of language history (e.g., quality and duration of exposure to different languages) and linguistic abilities in all languages is necessary in the evaluation, particularly when working with individuals who are multilingual. Rosenbaum, P., & Rosenbloom, L. (2012). Children with Down syndrome often have specific limitations in expressive syntax relative to semantics. In the United States, the overall prevalence of ID was estimated to be 11.013.4 per 1,000 children and adolescents (L. L. Anderson et al., 2019). 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). Individuals with ID continue to develop communication skills beyond the school years (e.g., Cheslock et al., 2008). Perspectives on Language Learning and Education, 13(3), 2126. Individuals with ID and associated language and communication disorders may demonstrate signs and symptoms of spoken and written language disorders across the domains of phonology, morphology and syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.

Universal Design for Learning is a lesson planning framework that can guide teachers in inclusive lesson planning. They may also benefit from a detailed evaluation of social communication relative to language structure and function. Individuals with ID usually develop skills slower than their typically developing peers do, whereas individuals with ASD may not follow the typical developmental progression of skills across domains. Advocate for individuals with ID and their families at the local, state, and national levels. (1998). Communication intervention for ID focuses on interactions that may occur within an individuals natural environment to reflect social norms of their community. Treatment typically encompasses a variety of techniques and approaches (Goldstein, 2006). van Schrojenstein Lantman-de Valk, H. M. J., & Walsh, P. N. (2008).

There are prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal causes of intellectual disability (ID). LEAP is implemented in a classroom setting consisting of children with ASD and typically developing peers and is designed to support child-directed play. (2013). These approaches can be provided by SLPs and/or caregivers. Parent-mediated/implemented treatment approaches involve partnerships between SLPs, parents/caregivers, and other professionals and communication partners in supporting the natural communication behaviors of individuals with intellectual and other developmental disabilities (Guralnick, 2017; M.

Intervention for individuals with ID involves a variety of communication partners (peers and adults) in different settings and may address the following areas: Treatment programs often incorporate teaching or coaching models for communication partners, including peers, so they may support the individuals language comprehension and expression. Screening does not result in a diagnosis of a disorder but, rather, determines the need for further assessment and/or referral for other services. Assessment and treatment of disorders that fall under speech-language pathology scope of practice may be completed at any stage in an individuals life. Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 30(2), 211229. SLPs should consider the role of ABA in communication intervention, particularly because difficulty with prompt dependency and generalization of communication interactions may result.
