In our sea of learning, we all have a way.
My journey is special, it’s not about speed,
I know, for understanding, I just need more feed.“

What is an intellectual disorder in children?
An intellectual disorder, previously known as intellectual developmental disorder or mental retardation, is characterized by below-average intellectual function and limitations in adaptive behavior, appearing before the age of 18.
How is an intellectual disorder different from learning disabilities?
Intellectual disorders affect overall cognitive functioning and adaptive behaviors, while learning disabilities are specific challenges in areas like reading, writing, or math, without a broader cognitive impact.
What causes intellectual disorders in children?
Causes can be varied and include genetic conditions (like Down syndrome), prenatal exposure to substances, infections during pregnancy, birth complications, or environmental factors in early childhood.
Are there preventable risk factors for intellectual disorders?
Some risk factors like exposure to certain infections, malnutrition, or harmful substances during pregnancy can be preventable. Early intervention, prenatal care, and avoiding certain substances during pregnancy can reduce risks.
What are the signs that a child might have an intellectual disorder?
Signs can include delays in reaching developmental milestones, challenges with problem-solving, difficulties in social interactions, struggles with academic tasks, and trouble with adaptive skills like self-care.
