Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The four categories of intellectual disability are mild, moderate, severe, and profound. These categories are based on the individual's level of intellectual functioning, measured by an IQ test, and their level of adaptive behavior, such as communication and self-care skills. The term "dumb" is not an appropriate or respectful term to use when referring to individuals with intellectual disabilities, and "autistic" is not a category of intellectual disability but rather a separate developmental disorder. Options C and D have incorrect category names.
