pattern that causes significant distress or impairment
of personal functioning. Such features may be
persistent, relapsing and remitting, or occur as a
single episode. Many disorders have been described,
with signs and symptoms that vary widely between
specific disorders . Such disorders may
be diagnosed by a mental health master.

What is intellectual disability?
Someone with intellectual disability has
limitations in two areas. These areas
are:
Intellectual functioning. Also known
as IQ, this refers to a person’s ability to
learn, reason, make decisions, and
solve problems.
Adaptive behaviours. These are skills
necessary for day-to-day life, such as
being able to communicate effectively,
interact with others, and take care of
oneself.

 Deaf and mute
 Mute is an outdate
term to refer to
someone who can’t
speak. Whereas deaf
refers to someone
who can’t hear. You
would often hear the
expression “deaf-
mute” but that has
fallen out of favor.
DISABILITY

disability) is defined as a decreased ability
to see to a degree that causes problems not
fixable by usual means, such as glasses or
medication. Visual impairment can be due to
disease, trauma, or congenital or

As a student what we can do?
 Use clear sentences, simple words while talking to
them.
 If you are speaking to a person in a wheelchair, sit
down so they don’t have to strain their neck to look up
at you.
 People with disabilities need assistance getting
around. You can volunteer to help in this regard.
 children need love, encouragement, and support

DISABILITY
How can we make a change?

 Focus on strengths, not just weaknesses

 child is not defined by their learning disability. A

learning disability represents one area of weakness,
but there are many more areas of strengths.
