Condition
Intellectual Disability
Limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behaviour.
Intellectual disability involves significant limitations in reasoning, learning and problem solving together with adaptive behaviour skills. Support focuses on functional academics, communication, daily living skills and vocational readiness.
Early signs
- Slow acquisition of new skills
- Difficulty with abstract concepts
- Needs support in daily living tasks
How it is diagnosed
- IQ testing
- Adaptive behaviour scale (VSMS)
- Disability certification support
Our approach
- Orange builds a lifespan plan: school-age academics first, then independence and pre-vocational skills as the child grows.
