Understanding Learners with Intellectual Deficiency

Individuals with intellectual deficiency or mental retardation may exhibit immature behaviors, lack judgment, and show signs of delayed development. They require special care, early diagnosis, parental assistance, and educational support to reach a reasonable degree of educational achievement and social adjustment in the community. The severity of intellectual disability varies, with different levels of intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior. Proper diagnosis and intervention can help these individuals achieve independence in various aspects of life.
