Intellectual Disabilities
Intellectual disability, sometimes referred to as cognitive disability, affects approximately one in ten families. Some of these individuals may experience difficulty with self-expression and social connections.
Children and adults with intellectual disability can – and do – learn new skills. They may, however, require additional support and time to do so. With proper support, learning, development and growth is within reach for individuals with cognitive disability.
Possible signs and symptoms of intellectual disability may include:
Delayed speech or difficulty speaking.
Difficulty expressing needs and wants.
Trouble understanding the world around them.
Difficulty understanding the consequences of their actions.
