What intellectual disability is
Intellectual disability is a condition that someone is born with that significantly affects cognitive or thinking skills (e.g. learning, problem-solving and judgement) and affects areas of day to day life (such as learning new skills, or living independently.) These limitations often appear during the developmental period, typically before the age of 18. Support and intervention can help individuals with ID maximize their potential and improve their quality of life.
