ABA has been used for individuals with ID, particularly those who also have ASD (e.g., Spreckley & Boyd, 2009). https://doi.org/10.1352/1944-7558-118.5.365, Barnes, E., Roberts, J., Long, S. H., Martin, G. E., Berni, M. C., Mandulak, K. C., & Sideris, J. 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). The determination of incidence and prevalence of intellectual disability (ID) is complicated because researchers of ID do not use a uniform operational definition when selecting and identifying individuals with ID.

The ASHA Action Center welcomes questions and requests for information from members and non-members. 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. https://doi.org/10.1177%2F15257401020230030301, Neely, L., Rispoli, M., Camargo, S., Davis, H., & Boles, M.

These individuals may have physical, programmatic, or communication creating opportunities for meaningful activities across environments (Beadle-Brown et al., 2016; Brady et al., 2016).
