Mental retardation refers to substantial limitations in present functioning. It is characterized by significantly subaverage intellectual functioning, existing concurrently with related limitations in two or more of the following applicable adaptive skill areas: Communication, self-care, home living, social skills, community use, self-direction, health and safety, functional academics, leisure and work. Mental retardation manifests before age 18. |
According to the American Association on Mental Retardation (AAMR), an individual is considered to have mental retardation based on the following three criteria: |
-
Intellectual functioning level (IQ) is below 70-75.
-
Significant limitations exist in two or more adaptive skill areas and,
-
The condition is present from childhood (defined as age 18 or less.).
|
As measured by standardized tests, the average IQ (intelligence quotient) is 100; normal ranges from 90 to 110. The degree of mental retardation depends upon how far below this normal range a child's IQ falls. Experts use these lower IQ scores to label a child as mildly, moderately, severely or profoundly retarded. The majority of children with below-average IQ scores are not considered to be mentally retarded, but below average, with test scores between 70 and 89. |
The diagnosis of mental retardation can be made only by a certified psychologist capable of administering, scoring, and interpreting a standardized intelligence or cognitive test. The psychologist must also be able to observe and assess adaptive behavior. |
Adaptive behavior enables children to interact with, adjust to, and meet the demands of other people and day-to-day living. Specific adaptive behavior includes a child's motor skills, communication abilities, self-help and independent living skills (eating, dressing, toileting), and other everyday skills (using public transportation, maintaining an appropriate job, taking care of a house). |
Mental retardation is not a disease itself. It occurs when something injures the brain or a problem prevents the brain from developing normally. Many times we don't know why a person has mental retardation. These problems can happen while the baby is growing inside his or her mom, during the baby's birth, or after the baby is born. |
Mental retardation can have a variety of causes, including hereditary disorders such as phenylketonuria (PKU), early alterations in the embryo's development (Down's syndrome), and exposure to toxic substances (alcohol) or infections while the child is in the mother's uterus. Problems in labor and birth that put stress on the baby, or problems after birth like injuries to the brain, can result in retardation and/or loss of specific functions, such as memory or language abilities. In most cases the cause of retardation is not known, having no specific identifiable source. |
