Intellectual Disabilities (ID)
Intellectual Disability is a condition where a child has significant limitations in both intellectual functioning (such as reasoning and problem-solving) and adaptive behavior (everyday practical skills). It is usually identified before the age of 18 and can range from mild to severe. With the right support, education, and care, children with ID can thrive and reach their full potential.

- Difficulty with reasoning, problem-solving, and understanding complex ideas
- Challenges in managing daily tasks like dressing, communication, or social interactions
