Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The text mentions that the primary goal of language intervention for people with intellectual disabilities is to increase functional communication, meaning the ability to effectively communicate needs, wants, and ideas in real-life situations. This can include teaching the use of appropriate language, but the focus is on improving overall communication skills rather than simply decreasing inappropriate language use. Remediation of a language delay and improving articulation skills may be part of the intervention process, but they are not the overriding goal.
