Intellectual/Learning Disabilities
Intellectual Disability
When a person has a sub-average intellectual ability that is equivalent to or less than an IQ of 70, he or she, is assessed to be an intellectually disabled person.
This disability is manifested notably by abnormal development, learning difficulties, and problems in social adjustment. However, people with intellectual disability are often straightforward and usually fun to work with.
Learning Disability
There are several types of learning disabilities. Some of the more common ones are as follows:
• Autistic Spectrum Disorder
This is a lifelong developmental disability that affects the way a person relates
to and communicates with others, processes information and adapts to the
environment.
• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
ADHD is a disorder that affects a person’s capacity to focus and sustain
attention, control impulsive behaviour etc.
