Intellectual Disability

Intellectual Disability (ID) is a type of neurodevelopmental disability characterized by limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behaviors, affecting everyday skills like communication and self-care. It typically emerges during childhood and can impact learning and development. ID can vary in severity and may arise from various factors, including genetic conditions, environmental influences, or complications during pregnancy or birth. People with ID might need support in certain areas of life but can lead fulfilling lives with appropriate resources, education, and support tailored to their individual strengths and challenges.
