Definition(s)

  • The term intellectual disability has replaced “mental retardation” as the primary descriptor for individuals who experience limitations in intelligence and adaptive behavior. Intellectual disability exists as a natural variation of diversity in society and education, and it occurs within the expected overall continuum of human ability.
