Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intellectual disability is characterized by significant limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behaviors, which can make it difficult for individuals with intellectual disability to adapt to the demands of independent adult life. Option A is incorrect because creativity is not necessarily related to intellectual disability. Option B is partially correct because individuals with intellectual disability typically have an IQ score below 70, but this range is not limited to 80-100. Option C is a possible cause of intellectual disability but is not the only cause.
