ID

Intellectual Disabilities refers to a developmental disability marked by limited intellectual and social functioning. An IQ below 70 is generally required for a diagnosis along with a lack of age-appropriate daily living skills.  With the revisions to the DSM-V, the term mental retardation is no longer used.
