Intellectual disability involves problems with general mental abilities that affect functioning in two areas:

  • intellectual functioning (such as learning, problem-solving, judgment)
  • adaptive functioning (activities of daily life such as communication and independent living)

    • Intellectual disability affects about one percent of the population, and of those about 85 percent have a mild intellectual disability. Males are more likely than females to be diagnosed with intellectual disability.
