IntellectualDisability: Diagnostic Criteria vt vt vt




Intellectual developmental disorder (intellectual disability) isa disorderwith onset during the developmental period that
vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt




includes both intellectual and adaptive functioning deficits in conceptual, social, and practical domains. The following
vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt




three criteria must be met:
vt vt vt vt vt




A. Deficits inintellectualfunctions, such as reasoning, problem solving, planning, abstract thinking,judgment,
vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt




academic learning, and learning from experience, confirmed by both clinical assessment and individualized,
vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt v t




standardized intelligence testing.

B. Deficits in adaptivefunctioning that result in failureto meet developmental and sociocultural standards for
vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt




personal independence and social responsibility. Without ongoing support, the adaptive deficits limit
vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt




functioning in one or more activities of daily life, such as communication, social participation, and independent

living, across multiple environments, such as home, school, work, and community.

Note: The term intellectual developmental disorder is used to clarify its relationship with the WHO ICD-11 classification
vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt




system, which uses the term Disorders of Intellectual Development. The equivalent term intellectual disability is placed in
vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt




parentheses for continued use. The medical and research literature use both terms, while intellectual disability is the term in
vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt vt




common use by educational and other professions, advocacy groups, and the lay public. In the United States, Public Law
