Components of the IDEA Definition include
Intelligence
Adaptive Behaviors
MILD Classification for ID is at 85%
ways in which ID is different than Learning Disabilities
IQ is lower than 70
Academically ID is more global whereas LD 1 or 2 areas only
classified as mild, moderate, severe where LD is specified in the impairment
top 3 known causes of ID Intellectual Disabilities are
Down syndrome
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
Fragile X Syndrome
others- maternal health behavior, premature low birth weight, exposure to toxins
causes of intellectual disabilities are unknown for about 50% of the time
Down syndrome people have an extra
this cause of ID is one that most affects babies 1 in 700
Down syndrome has a higher likelihood of these
higher likelihood of leukemia
high risk of Alzheimer's
Fragile X Syndrome is the most common inherited chromosomal disorder
Fragile X syndrome has these characteristics
caused by changes run FMR1 physical characteristics
unusual speech patters
affects males more frequently and more severely
about 30% also identified with autism
A communication passport is a profile for students with severe/profound disabilities
those that are identified with a IQ of 39 and under (Severe and profound intellectual disabilities)
additional disabilities are very common

Step 1 of instructional prompts is Natural Cue, second one is
gesture
verbal

last prompting hierarchy is full physical prompt
Fading of instructional prompts include fading the frequency of prompts fading the frequency of practice( fading the frequency of prompts, fading the frequency of practice ) and fading the level of assistance fading the level of instruction( fading the level of assistance, fading the level of instruction )
Task Analysis
step by step breakdown of how a task is completed; tasks are broken into small sequential steps
Chaining= teaching one step at a time (total task, forward or backward chaining)
total task means all steps at once
forward chaining means one step at a time starting with the first step
backward chaining is the same as forward chaining but start fading the last one
measuring and documenting success includes
task analysis
systematic use of instructional prompting
