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). Interprofessional collaborative practice consists of core ideals described by the WHO that include patient- and family-centered, community-oriented, and relationship-focused service delivery by a team of professionals working together with common goals for the individual with ID (WHO, 2010b). Models of teaming require varying degrees of collaboration and engagement. Herer (2012) found that the prevalence of hearing loss in noninstitutionalized adults with ID was higher than for individuals in the general population and that the hearing loss occurred at a much younger age. See ASHAs Intellectual Disability evidence map for summaries of the available research on this topic. Environmental arrangement. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7610.2009.02204.x, Reid, S.

There has also been the movement toward recognizing the fundamental communication rights of people with severe disabilities. Identification and evaluation of mental retardation. Simply reporting data on health care disparities may leave the false impression that biological markers create those disparities. significant limitations in intellectual functioning (e.g., learning, reasoning, and problem solving).
