Abstract

Global Journal of Intellectual & Developmental Disabilitiesinsights, but their abilities to articulate them may be lacking, is different than a perspective that individuals with ID lack insight and cannot understand abstract concepts.Misattributing communication challenges and executive functioning difficulties that influence the transfer of personal perspectives as a lack of globalized intrinsic capacity may fuel power differentials on a micro-level and marginalization of this population on a macro-level. It possible that break-downs within bi-directional communication patterns contribute this populations' vulnerability to mental health problems, as well as, CBs. A better understanding of positive and negative communication transactions may lead support staff and mental health practitioners to provide communication scaffolding to individuals with ID to help maximize the demonstration of cognitive strengths and reduce CBs.
