(Redirected from Mental retardation)
Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by significant limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior, affecting daily life skills and learning abilities. Formerly it was referred to in medical and psychology textbooks as mental retardation.
Intellectual disability is defined as a condition that limits a person's ability to learn, reason, and function in daily life. It typically manifests during childhood and is characterized by an IQ score below 70, along with deficits in adaptive behaviors such as communication,[1] social skills,[2] and self-care. The severity of intellectual disability can range from mild to profound, with most individuals falling into the mild category.[3]
