Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) refer to a range of conditions that impact cognitive functioning and adaptive behavior. Individuals with IDD may experience challenges in learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and everyday skills such as communication and self-care. These disabilities can arise from various factors, including genetics, brain injuries, or environmental influences, often appearing during childhood. While each person with IDD is unique, they can lead fulfilling lives with appropriate support, including education, therapy, and community resources, enabling their participation in society to the best of their abilities.
