An instrument used to asses a product or process. It contains a description of each of the traits

what was being assessed and the standards by which he/she is evaluated.

,Definition 4 of 151
a neurological disorder that can result in the lack of attention, impulsivity and/or hyperactivity.
The three types of ADHD are: Predominately Inattentive Type, Predominately Hyperactive-
Impulsive Type and combined type which incorporates all of the characteristics of the other
two types. ADHD is not an identified disability under the IDEA but students with the disability
may be served under the Other Health Impaired category of the IDEA or under the Learning
Disabilities or Seriously Emotionally Disordered categories.

,Definition 5 of 151
Mild mental retardation
Approximately 85% of the mentally retarded population is in the mildly retarded category. Their
IQ score ranges from 50-70, and they can often acquire academic skills up to about the sixth-
grade level. They can become fairly self-sufficient and in some cases live independently, with
community and social support.
Moderate mental retardation
About 10% of the mentally retarded population is considered moderately retarded. Moderately
retarded persons have IQ scores ranging from 35-55. They can carry out work and self-care
tasks with moderate supervision. They typically acquire communication skills in childhood and
are able to live and function successfully within the community in such supervised
environments as group homes .
Severe mental retardation
About 3-4% of the mentally retarded population is severely retarded. Severely retarded
persons have IQ scores of 20-40. They may master very basic self-care skills and some
communication skills. Many severely retarded individuals are able to live in a group home.
Profound mental retardation
Only 1-2% of the mentally retarded population is classified as profoundly retarded. Profoundly
retarded individuals have IQ scores under 20-25. They may be able to develop basic self-care
and communication skills with appropriate support and training. Their retardation is often
caused by an accompanying neurological disorder. Profoundly retarded people need a high
level of structure and supervision.
The American Association on Mental Retardation (AAMR) has developed another widely
accepted diagnostic classification system for mental retardation. The AAMR classification
system focuses on the capabilities of the retarded individual rather than on his or her limitations.
The categories describe the level of support required. They are: intermittent support; limited
support; extensive support , and pervasive support . To some extent, the AAMR classification
mirrors the DSM-IV-TR classification. Intermittent support, for example, is support that is
needed only occasionally, perhaps during times of stress or crisis for the retarded person. It is
the type of support typically required for most mildly retarded people. At the other end of the
spectrum, pervasive support, or life-long, daily support for most adaptive areas, would be
required for profoundly retarded persons. The AAMR classification system refers to the "below-
average intellectual function" as an IQ of 70-75 or below.
