How many levels of intellectual disability are recognized?

Two
Three
Four
Five

The correct answer is: Four

The recognition of four levels of intellectual disability is established in various diagnostic criteria and classification systems, including the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition) and the ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision). These levels are categorized as mild, moderate, severe, and profound. Each level reflects the degree of impairment in intellectual functioning and adaptability to environmental demands. Mild intellectual disability may allow for more independence and learning capabilities, while profound disability requires significant support and care. Understanding these classifications is essential for developing appropriate educational strategies, support systems, and interventions tailored to individual needs. Recognizing the distinct nuances between each level informs professionals in healthcare, education, and social services about the necessary resources and treatment plans to foster improved outcomes for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
