Intellectual Disability
Captions available
The idea
Intellectual disability involves significant limitations in both intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior, with onset during development.
In practice
Diagnosis requires assessment of daily living skills alongside test performance, not a score alone.
Where people slip
A test score alone never establishes the diagnosis. Adaptive functioning is an equal criterion.
