The AAIDD definition is consistent with the diagnostic criteria for Intellectual Disability (Intellectual Developmental Disorder) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed. The impact of aging on eating, drinking, and swallowing function in people with Downs syndrome. Societal norms within some communities may result in isolation of individuals with ID. However, some adults with IDparticularly those with psychomotor impairments or other comorbid conditions that affect feeding and swallowingmay experience dysphagia-related problems as they age (Lazenby-Paterson & Crawford, 2014).

Functional analysis of communicative behaviors. For example, individuals with Down syndrome may be at higher risk for earlier onset of dementia when compared with the general population (Burt et al., 2005; Hawkins et al., 2003).

Individuals with ID have intellectual deficits as well as deficits in adaptive functioning that include conceptual, social, and practical domains (APA, 2013). ID was present in 45% of children recorded in the cerebral palsy registry (Reid et al., 2018). Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 30(2), 211229.

An important goal of special education is for our students to gain as much independence and autonomy as possible, whether their disability is emotional, intellectual, physical, or a combination of two or more (multiple) disabilities. Dysarthria is the most common speech disorder (McNeil, 2009). SLPs need to differentiate between ID and other disorders and conditions (e.g., spoken language disorders and hearing loss, selective mutism, and English as a second language) whose communication problems can be attributed mistakenly to ID (e.g., late language emergence and ASD). It can be used with a large variety of individuals. Screening does not result in a diagnosis of a disorder but, rather, determines the need for further assessment and/or referral for other services. 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.

Of the children aged 621 years served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA), 6.7% of students were identified with ID (U.S. Department of Education, 2021). Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report Surveillance Summaries, 69(4), 112. Communication skills among individuals with ID can vary due to severity; co-occurring conditions; and other behavioral, emotional, and social factors. Growth in early reading skills is influenced by environmental as well as genetic factors (Petrill et al., 2010).

Replacing challenging behaviors with appropriate and increasingly sophisticated communication skills has the potential to improve academic achievement, social relationships, and vocational outcomes. For full participation, the Communication Bill of Rights identifies access to functioning augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) and other assistive technology services and devices as necessary at all times. Adults with ID experience the same age-related health problems and functional decline observed in the general elderly population (Lazenby-Paterson & Crawford, 2014). https://www.gallaudet.edu/office-of-international-affairs/demographics/, Patja, K., Mls, P., & Iivanainen, M.
