    Intellectual disability, previously known as mental retardation, is classified into different levels based on the severity of the condition. Here are the main types:

    1. Mild Intellectual Disability:
    -IQ Range: 50-69
    -Characteristics: Individuals may take longer to learn to talk but can communicate well once they do. They can be fully independent in self-care and can benefit from specialized education plans.

    2. Moderate Intellectual Disability:
    -IQ Range: 35-49
    -Characteristics: Individuals may have difficulties with communication and require more support in daily activities. They can learn basic self-care skills and perform simple tasks under supervision.

    3. Severe Intellectual Disability:
    -IQ Range: 20-34
    -Characteristics: Individuals have significant delays in development and require extensive support for daily activities. They may have limited communication skills and need constant supervision.

    4. Profound Intellectual Disability:
    -IQ Range: Below 20
    -Characteristics: Individuals have severe limitations in functioning and require continuous care and support. They may have minimal communication abilities and need assistance with all aspects of daily life.

    These classifications help in understanding the level of support and intervention needed for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
