Assessment and intervention are typically collaborative processes involving multiple providers. ABA techniques are often used in intensive, early intervention (before the age of 4 years) programs to address a full range of life skills (e.g., Frea & McNerney, 2008). Video recordings of desired behaviors are observed and then imitated by the individual (Darden-Brunson et al., 2008). 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.

Application of stimulus equivalence to language intervention for individuals with severe linguistic disabilities. Whitaker, P., Barratt, P., Joy, H., Potter, M., & Thomas, G. (1998). It can be caused by injury, disease, or a problem in the brain. Limiting communication means limiting access to peer groups and daily life activities. 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. It is a leading cause of developmental disabilities in the United States (Clarke & Gibbard, 2003). Additionally, the intellectual and adaptive deficit begin early in .

Descriptive terminology and philosophy concerning ID focuses on levels of support necessary to maximize an individuals ability, rather than strictly on functional limitations. For these individuals, a comprehensive assessment is likely to be the first step. Thus, functional behavioral assessments should include multiple components in order to identify the antecedents that trigger the behavior and the consequences that maintain the behavior. For example, evaluators determine if failure to recognize a photo of a party reflects word retrieval challenges or is due to an unfamiliar representation of a party to an individual. Both formal and informal assessment approaches can be used. American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 122(4), 289309.

Screen individuals who may have hearing, speech, language, communication, and/or swallowing difficulties and determine the need for further assessment and/or referral for other services. 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). 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).
