An intellectual disability involves significant limitations in both intellectual functioning (reasoning, learning, problem-solving) and in adaptive behavior, which covers many everyday social and practical skills. Our approach focuses on providing supportive care to enhance adaptive functioning, build skills, and improve quality of life for individuals and their families.

Common Symptoms or Things to Look Out For By Severity Level:

• Deficits in intellectual functions confirmed by both clinical assessment and individualized, standardized intelligence testing.
• Deficits in adaptive functioning that result in failure to meet developmental and sociocultural standards for personal independence and social responsibility.
• Severity levels (Mild, Moderate, Severe, Profound) are determined by adaptive functioning, not IQ scores alone, and indicate the level of support required.
