Overview

"Mental retardation is a term for a pattern of persistently slow learning of basic motor and language skills (""milestones"") during childhood, and a significantly below-normal global intellectual capacity as an adult. One common criterion for diagnosis of mental retardation is a tested intelligence quotient (IQ) of 70 or below. This book examines new and critical research and issues in the field."
