Mildly affected individuals |
|
|
Mildly affected individuals comprise about 85 percent of people with retardation. They often cannot be distinguished from normal children until they attend school. Although they learn more slowly, people with mild retardation usually can develop academic skills equivalent to the sixth-grade level. As adults, they can work and live in the community if helped when they experience unusual social or economic stress. Some may marry and have children. |
