About 85% of children who are cognitively challenged have an IQ of 50 to 70 and may be referred to as "educable" by a school system. During early years, these children learn social and communication skills and are often not too distinguishable from average infants or toddlers. The parent's behavior of supporting and engaging the child in family conversation indicates that the family is adjusting to the child's learning capacity.
Teasing the child and calling names indicates intolerance of the child's learning capacity. Telling the child to play while the adults talk or scolding for making a mess indicate that the family is not adjusting to the child's learning capacity.
