Abstract
Three decades ago, the American Association on Mental Deficiency (AAMD) proposed a definition of intellectual disability (ID) that not only emphasized the academic side of intelligence but also considered two other important factors—adaptive behavior and the time of occurrence of the disabling condition: “Mental Retardation refers to significantly subaverage general intellectual functioning existing concurrently with deficits in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period” (Grossman, 1983, p. 1).
