Intellectual disability (ID) is defined as having a significantly sub-average intellectual functioning, typically two standard deviations below the mean (i.e., IQ of 70 or below), that:
? Is manifested before the age of 18 years; and ? Is accompanied by significant limitations in adaptive functioning in at least two of
the following skills areas: communication, self-care, home living, social/interpersonal skills, use of community resources, self-direction, functional academic skills, work, leisure, health, and/or safety.
Developmental disability (DD) is a severe, chronic disability which: ? Is attributable to a mental or physical impairment or a combination of mental and physical impairments; ? Is manifested before the person attains age 22; ?

Reflects the person's need for a combination and sequence of special, interdisciplinary, or generic care, treatment, or other services which are of lifelong or extended duration and are individually planned and coordinated; except ? That for infants and young children DD means individuals from birth to age five, inclusive, who have substantial developmental delay or specific congenital or acquired conditions with a high probability of resulting in developmental disabilities if services are not provided.
