intellectually challenged
"Intellectually challenged" refers to individuals who have cognitive impairments that affect their ability to learn, reason, and solve problems. This condition can vary in severity and may impact daily functioning, including communication and social skills. It is often identified through standardized tests that measure intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior.
People who are intellectually challenged may require additional support in educational settings and daily life. This support can come from family, educators, and specialized programs designed to help them develop skills and achieve their potential. Early intervention and tailored resources can significantly improve their quality of life and independence.
