Abstract
Intellectual disability (ID), formerly known as mental retardation is a disability of intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior that arises during the period of time from conception to the beginning of adulthood. With ID, the individual has significant limitations in both intellectual ability and adaptive behavior, which are manifest before the age of 18. People with intellectual disability have varying degrees of impairment, classified from mild to profound. Every person who has intellectual disability is a unique individual and as such they face many barriers when it comes to school, relationships, and daily living. Supporting individuals in need of Mental Health Care and fostering a relationship with them are ways to embrace diversity in communities.
