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). 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. https://doi.org/10.1037/0022-006X.75.4.594, Anderson, L.

Limitations in adaptive functioning in specific skill areas are a necessary criterion for diagnosis under the AAIDD and DSM-5 definitions. Individuals with ID have limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior, whereas individuals with ASD have a wide range of intellectual abilities and adaptive behavior. Communication intervention is sensitive to cultural and linguistic diversity and addresses components within the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (WHO, 2001) framework, including body structures/functions, activities/participation, and contextual factors (personal and environmental). SLPs foster an appreciation for the importance of language in future learning and functioning when involving others in intervention activities. Intellectual disability: Definition, diagnosis, classification, and system of supports (12th ed.). 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). varied communication settings/contexts, such as, early communication skills (e.g., pointing, turn-taking, joint attention), pragmatic conventions (spoken and nonspoken) for communicating appropriately in varied situations, spoken and written language for social, educational, and vocational functions, increased complexity of spoken and written language for more effective communication, contextual factors that influence the individuals relative success or difficulty in a given activity, compensatory communication techniques and strategies, including the use of AAC or other assistive technology.

Public awareness, attitudes and beliefs regarding intellectual disability: A systematic review. 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. Families offer important information about the strengths, challenges, and needs for the individual with ID. Application of stimulus equivalence to language intervention for individuals with severe linguistic disabilities. If the person does not initiate, an expectant look and a time delay might be sufficient to prompt language use. For example, the time delay between initial instruction and any additional instruction or prompting is gradually increased as the individual becomes more proficient at the skill being taught.
