Children with intellectual disabilities

Children with intellectual disabilities have difficulties with thinking, learning, and problem-solving compared to their peers. These challenges can affect everyday skills like communication, self-care, and social interactions. The degree varies; some children may need extra support, while others may require more extensive assistance. These disabilities are often present from early childhood and result from conditions such as genetic factors, brain injury, or developmental issues. With appropriate education, therapies, and support, children with intellectual disabilities can develop their strengths and improve their independence, participation, and quality of life.
