Intellectual Developmental Disorder (Mild)

Mild intellectual developmental disorder involves below-average intellectual functioning accompanied by adaptive deficits, with onset during the developmental period. Etiologies include genetic syndromes, prenatal exposures, and environmental deprivation. Clinical presentation includes delayed academic achievement, limited problem-solving skills, and social immaturity, though independent living is often possible with support. Diagnosis requires standardized IQ testing and adaptive behavior assessment. Management emphasizes individualized educational planning, skill development, and psychosocial support. Prognosis is generally good with supportive interventions and structured environments.
