Summary
Colleges are seeing more students with intellectual disability (ID). This paper offers behavior analytic and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) strategies to help these students succeed academically.
Area of Science:
- Education
- Psychology
- Disability Studies
Background:
- Increasing enrollment of students with intellectual disability (ID) in higher education.
- Societal trends and federal legislation promote inclusive higher education.
- College completion offers significant benefits for individuals with ID and society.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present instructional technologies for supporting college students with ID.
- To provide strategies grounded in behavior analysis and Universal Design for Learning (UDL).
- To facilitate academic success for students with ID and their peers.
Main Methods:
- Review of instructional technologies.
- Application of behavior analytic strategies.
- Integration of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles.
Main Results:
- Identification of numerous effective instructional technologies.
- Demonstration of how behavior analysis and UDL can be applied in higher education settings.
- Strategies provided for faculty to implement and recommend to students.
Conclusions:
- Instructional technologies based on behavior analysis and UDL can enhance learning for college students with ID.
- Faculty can play a crucial role in supporting the academic success of students with ID.
- Inclusive educational practices benefit all students in higher education.

01:25Learning Disabilities
423
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

358
Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in intellectual and adaptive functioning that manifest during the developmental period. This condition encompasses challenges in reasoning, memory, problem-solving, and learning, accompanied by impairments in everyday life skills, such as communication, self-care, and social interactions. Intellectual disability affects approximately 1% of the population in the United States, impacting an estimated 5...

01:30Information Processing Approach
311
The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

01:19Autism Spectrum Disorder
703
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

01:27Language and Cognition

Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.
