This document discusses intellectual disabilities. It defines intellectual disabilities as long-term conditions that affect mental or physical abilities before adulthood. Approximately 2% of people worldwide have an intellectual disability, which can impact independent living, self-care, and financial stability. The causes of intellectual disabilities vary widely but include brain injuries, genetic abnormalities, malnutrition during development, and childhood neglect. Education is important for people with intellectual disabilities, with an emphasis on inclusion in regular schools rather than separate facilities whenever possible.
