Discuss the four recommended classification levels as proposed by AAIDD
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: The four AAIDD classification levels are: intermittent, limited, extensive, and pervasive.
Intermittent supports are provided on an as-needed basis? characterized as episodic (i.e.,
person does not always need supports) or short-term during lifespan transitions (e.g., job
loss or acute medical crisis). Intermittent supports may be of high or low intensity when
provided. Limited supports are characterized by consistency? time required may be
limited but not intermittent. Fewer staff may be required, and costs may be lower than
for more intensive levels of support (e.g., time-limited employment training or transitional
supports during school-to-adult provider period). Extensive supports are characterized by
regular involvement (e.g., daily) in at least some environments, such as work or home?
supports are not time limited (e.g., long-term job and home-living support). Pervasive
supports are characterized by constancy and high intensity and provided across
environments? they have a potential life-sustaining nature. Pervasive supports typically
involve more staff and are more intrusive than extensive or time-limited supports.
