Anotations

Scope note:

Condition manifested by subnormal intellectual functioning that originates during the developmental period. This has multiple potential etiologies, including genetic defects and perinatal insults.

IQ scores between 70 and 79 are in the borderline range; scores below 67 are in the disabled range.
