Intellectual Disability
- More than 3 million US cases each year.
- Treatment can help, but this condition can’t be cured
- Chronic: can last for years or be lifelong
- Requires a medical diagnosis.
Intellectual function can be measured with an IQ test. The main symptom is difficulty thinking and understanding. Life skills that can be impacted include certain conceptual, social, and practical skills. Special education and behavioral therapy can help a person live to his or her fullest.
