Intellectual disabilities refer to a group of disorders that affect a person's ability to think, learn, and function in daily life. These disabilities can impact various areas, including reasoning, problem-solving, and social skills. They are typically diagnosed in childhood and can result from genetic factors, environmental influences, or complications during pregnancy or birth. People with intellectual disabilities may require support in education, employment, and daily living activities. Early intervention and tailored educational programs can help individuals develop their skills and lead fulfilling lives. Support from family, friends, and professionals is essential for promoting independence and inclusion in society.
