An intellectual disability is a condition that begins in childhood and affects both cognitive skills (like reasoning and problem-solving) and adaptive functioning (daily life skills). Children with intellectual disabilities often show difficulties in:
Learning and academic achievement
Communication and social skills
Attention, memory, and problem-solving
Daily living tasks and independence
Causes vary some may be related to genetic conditions (e.g., Down syndrome, Fragile X), while others are linked to pregnancy complications, medical conditions, or environmental factors.
Early Intervention: Identifying challenges early allows for timely therapies, supports, and better long-term outcomes.
Accurate Diagnosis: A comprehensive evaluation clarifies whether delays are due to an intellectual disability or another condition (such as ADHD, autism, or a learning disorder).
Personalized Supports: Assessments highlight both strengths and needs, leading to tailored recommendations for school, home, and daily life.
