Mental Retardation
What is Intellectual Disability?
Intellectual Disability (formerly called Mental Retardation) is a developmental condition characterized by significant limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behaviour. It affects learning ability, problem-solving, communication, social skills, and daily living activities. The condition begins in childhood and may result from genetic factors, birth complications, brain injuries, infections, or unknown causes. Individuals may learn more slowly and require support in school, work, or independent living. With early diagnosis, specialised training, behavioural therapy, and family guidance, people with Intellectual Disability can develop essential skills and achieve the highest possible level of independence and functioning.
Types of Intellectual Disability:
- Mild – Slow learning but able to achieve independence with support
- Moderate – Requires training for daily activities
- Severe – Limited communication and greater need for assistance
- Profound – Complete dependency for daily functioning
Benefits of Treatment:
Early diagnosis and structured intervention improve communication, behavioural skills, emotional stability, and daily functioning. Therapy, behaviour modification, family counselling, and special education support help individuals reach their highest potential.
