General Information |
|
Mental retardation is a term used when a
person has certain limitations in mental functioning and in skills
such as communicating, taking care of him or herself, and social
skills. These limitations will cause a child to learn and develop more
slowly than a typical child. Children with mental retardation may take
longer to learn to speak, walk, and take care of their personal needs
such as dressing or eating. They are likely to have trouble learning
in school. They will learn, but it will take them longer. There may be
some things they cannot learn. Learn more at
