Focused stimulation is a treatment approach in which a child is given multiple examples of a specific target (e.g., vocabulary item) within meaningful contexts. Morphosyntax is more difficult than semantics (Fidler et al., 2009), with variability in vocabulary development compared to children with other intellectual disabilities or typical development (Loveall et al., 2016). One of the major shifts in the early 1980s was a move toward person-first language, reflecting the idea that the disability does not define the person. https://doi.org/10.1044/1092-4388(2002/094). https://doi.org/10.1352/1944-7558-121.2.121, Brady, N.

Milieu language teaching and other related procedures offer systematic approaches for prompting children to expand their repertoire of communication functions and to use increasingly complex language skills (Kaiser & Roberts, 2013). Intellectual disability 1 involves problems with general mental abilities that affect functioning in two areas: Intellectual functioning (such as learning, problem solving, judgement). When examining data, use extreme caution: Consider the potential of bias in the testing as well as in the diagnostic and evaluation procedures.

For children with ID and other DDs, intervention may focus on factors influencing cognitive development and social competence (e.g., Guralnick, 2017; Mahoney & Perales, 2005). 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. Students with language learning disabilities are at a disadvantage in school due to having reduced/limited background knowledge and language proficiency as compared to typically developing peers. See ASHAs Practice Portal page on Augmentative and Alternative Communication. Girolametto, L., Weitzman, E., & Clements-Baartman, J.
