An intellectual disability that is also known as mental retardation (M.R.) is the most common disability found among children with special needs. It is considered a substantial limitation in present functioning.

  • It starts before the age of 18, the intellectual functioning level of a child becomes below average and that can be measured by the standardized tests used for measuring the intelligence quotient.

Key Points

  • The mentally retarded are those whose normal intellectual growth is arrested before birth, during the birth process, or in the early years of development.
  • They learn slowly and through imitating their peers or teachers. They have a short memory and forget things easily.
  • They have problems in communication, social interaction, managing their daily tasks, speech disturbances. They show immaturity in different social situations.
  • Mental retardation may vary in different individuals, ranging from mild to profound. They require special care and supervision for their welfare and for the development of their capacities.​

Hence, it could be concluded that the ability to generalize is not a learning characteristic of a mentally retarded person.
