1.)Disability: A disability refers to personal limitations that represent a substantial disadvantage when attempting to function in society.
A disability should be considered within the context of the environment, personal factors, and the need for individualized supports.

2.)Intelligence: Intelligence refers to a general mental capability. It involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly, and learn from experience. Although not perfect, intelligence is represented by Intelligent Quotient (IQ) scores obtained from standardized tests given by a trained professional. In regard to the intellectual criterion for the diagnosis of an intellectual disability, an intellectual disability is generally thought to be present if an individual has an IQ test score of approximately 70 or below. It is important to remember, however, that an IQ score is only one aspect in determining if a person has an intellectual disability. Significant limitations in adaptive behavior skills and evidence that the disability was present before age 18 are two additional elements that are critical in determining if a person has an intellectual disability.

3.)Adaptive Behavior: Adaptive behavior is the collection of conceptual, social, and practical skills that people have learned so they can function in their everyday lives. Significant limitations in adaptive behavior impact a person’s daily life and affect the ability to respond to a particular situation or to the environment.

An intellectual disability is not the same as a learning disability, and these two terms have very different meanings. An intellectual disability refers to when someone has a developmental disorder such as autism, whereas a learning disability is referring to when someone has a learning disorder like dyslexia.

Intellectual disabilities do not affect everyone the same, and some cases will be more serious than others.

There are four levels of intellectual disability:

Mild Intellectual Disability

Moderate Intellectual Disability

Severe

Profound

The severe and profound cases of intellectual disabilities are usually diagnosed as early as birth, but a mild intellectual disability will sometimes take longer because you may only find out when the child does not meet developmental goals.
