Intellectual Disability
Intellectual Disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive skills, including communication, learning, social interactions, and daily living activities. Early identification, appropriate intervention, and ongoing support can help individuals develop essential life skills, improve independence, and enhance their overall quality of life.
A comprehensive clinical assessment helps understand an individual's cognitive abilities, developmental progress, adaptive functioning, and support needs. Personalized management focuses on maximizing strengths, improving daily functioning, and supporting both the individual and their family.
