Abstract:

The phrase intellectual impairment refers to a persons level of cognitive functioning. By specific children it occurs when a childs cognitive functioning is hampered to the extent that he or she is unable to receive information from his or her environment. After that, successfully absorbing, problem-solving, and adapting to the knowledge is required. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of children with intellectual disability and their education for conceptual knowledge, define cause, and classify. Intellectual disability is defined as significant deficits in intellectual functioning and adaptive behaviour manifested as conceptual, social, and practical adaptive skills. An intellectual disability is characterized as having an IQ of less than 70 and having problems with adaptive behaviour or daily living abilities (eating, dressing, communicating, and participating in group activities). Intellectually disabled people learn slowly and have trouble grasping abstract concepts. So there is a dire need of appropriate teaching methodologies for effective Teaching-Learning of such students. The features of people with intellectual disability according to their education are also discussed in this study.
