intellectual disability n. (originally) any impairment of intellectual or learning ability; (in later use) spec. any neurodevelopmental condition affecting intellectual processes, educational attainment, and the acquisition of skills needed for independent living and social functioning.The term intellectual disability has replaced mental retardation in medical, educational, and many other settings, because it is considered less pejorative and discriminatory; intellectual development disorder is also used, for the same reason. In Britain the term learning disability or learning difficulties is often preferred, esp. by advocacy groups.
