Intellectual disabilities range from simple learning or attentional deficits to severely reduced functional participation in activities of daily living. The intellectual disability may be related to a genetic syndrome, which may also that affect the physical, medical, behavioral, and social components of an individual’s life. The disability may also be related to autism spectrum disorder. Sensory processing deficits are prevalent among these groups. These individuals benefit from early intervention, but may receive continued supports throughout childhood and adulthood.
