What is a Developmental Disability?
A developmental disability is a life-long limitation in intellectual functioning which occurs prior to age 18 and varies greatly among individuals. People with a developmental disability learn more slowly than their typically developing peers, and may face challenges in many common daily activities such as independence, employment, problem solving and self-help skills.

Individuals with a diagnosis within the Autism Spectrum are also considered to have a developmental disability.
