Intellectual (Cognitive) Disability

An intellectual (cognitive) disability affects how a person learns, understands information, and solves problems.

It may also impact everyday skills like communication, social interactions, or managing daily tasks. Everyone with an intellectual disability is different—some may need extra support, while others are very independent. With patience, understanding, and the right supports, individuals can learn, grow, and live meaningful lives.
