Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The EEOC defines intellectual disability as anyone with an IQ of below 70-75, with significant limitations in adaptive skill areas as expressed in conceptual, social, and practical adaptive skills; and with a disability that originated before the age of 18. "Adaptive skill areas" refers to basic skills needed for everyday life, including communication, self-care, home living, social skills, leisure, health and safety, self-direction, functional academics (reading, writing, basic math), and work. This is similar to the ADA's concept of major life activities, discussed elsewhere in this chapter. The individual also must meet the traditional requirements of the ADA in that the impairment must limit major life activities, the individual must have had a record of such an impairment, or the individual must be perceived as having such an impairment.
