Intellectual disability affects a person's ability to learn, reason and adapt to daily life. It is characterised by significant limitations in both intellectual functioning (IQ below 70-75) and adaptive behaviour. Support needs vary significantly from person to person — some people need minimal support with specific tasks while others require more intensive assistance across many areas of life.
