AAIDD: Robert Schalock - Classification and Intellectual Disability 

This video provides a lot of great information about classification and intellectual disability. I had to watch the video a few times in order to grasp all the information that was provided.

The concept that I was able to most understand and relate to in this video was the importance of support. I completely agree with the speaker when he stated that: "the level of human functioning is directly related to the supports that we receive." This statement is true for everyone, not just those with intellectual disabilities. However, I think that recognizing this is especially important to any person with an intellectual disability.

This video was loaded with tons of information. I had to watch it a couple time while pausing throughout the video just to make sure I caught all the information. I am more of a visual learner so I had a little trouble catching everything on the first try. I will have to go and do my research on the multi dimensional model so I can get more understanding.

One of the main things that I enjoyed about the video was the need to emphasize an individual strengths rather than just looking at the disability. I believe we the focus is on the strength then that individual will have a much more positive experience, whatever the setting may be. In addition, I feel that it makes for greater and more lasting improvements to that person’s life.

Thank you for posting this video Danielle!

Wow that was a lot of information at one time. I wish he had a visual to help me understand more about intellectual disabilities. One thing that I learned that support is the most critical. A lot of people are diagnosed and then it doesn't go beyond that. People with intellectual disabilities generally improve with support.

I love this. As a future special education teacher, I am grateful that the design of the *entire* process -- diagnosis, classification, and intensity of supports -- has the question "what is the purpose of this?" *embedded* in it. It seems natural, then, that the result will lead to an outcome that means *improved function* or improvements to adaptive behavior. An IQ number -- by itself -- otherwise seems kind of superfluous when it's *improvements to adaptive behavior* that is the goal of supports application (that's the perspective from an on-the-ground support provider). This was an excellent explanation. Thank you very much!

Wow. A lot to try to digest. The most important piece that I took away from this video concerns support. I now understand how crucial it is for support to be part of the larger process after a diagnosis of ID is made. I also appreciate that there is a multi dimensionsl model in place to help make a diagnosis. A low IQ just isn't enough for this diagnosis.

Please fix the close captioning to make this video more accessible. (ADA).

This video was a lot of information at one time. I didn't really fully understand everything even after watching a couple of times. The professor talks very monotone and this makes it hard for me to take everything in without watching it over and over.

Eu queria a legenda em Português 😢😢

Could you allow community captioning so I could correct the captioning on this video to make it accessible to people who rely on accurate captioning?

Way too much information! wow I am struggling to answer these questions as I watch the video!

I did not enjoy this video as much as the previous assigned videos by the expert. I am a visual learner and it would have helped me if he would have organized the information where we could see it on a chart and then explained. I kept having to pause throughout the video because I could not understand what he was saying. Also, I was a little disappointed with the definition he gave us on intellectual disabilities because it was unclear to me.
