Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The DSM-5 criteria for intellectual disability include an IQ approximately 70 or below, deficits in adaptive functioning, and onset prior to age 18. Option A is the only choice that includes all three criteria. Option B is incorrect because it specifies an IQ threshold of approximately 65, which is not consistent with DSM-5 criteria. Option C is incorrect because it does not include deficits in adaptive functioning. Option D is incorrect because it specifies deficits in communication only, rather than deficits in adaptive functioning more broadly.
