Attributes
A. Cognitive Functioning
• Learning Rate - Children with intellectual disability acquire new knowledge at rate
well below that of typically developing children. Because students with learning
disabilities learn more slowly than their peers, some educators assume that
instruction should be slowed down to match their lower learning rates.
• Memory - They have difficulty remembering information, especially those with more severe
impairment.
• Attention - They typically attend slower on relevant features of a learning task than students without
disabilities. They often have difficulty keeping attention on learning tasks.
• Generalization and Maintenance - They have difficulty in transferring or generalizing newly learned
knowledge and skills to settings or situations that differ from conditions where they learned the skill.
• Motivation - Some students lack interest in learning or participating in problem solving tasks. Some
develop learned helplessness, in which one's repeated experiences of failure results to expectation of
failure regardless of effort. Some also develop outer-directedness, in which an individual distrusts one's
own responses to situations and rely on others for assistance and solutions.

B. Adaptive Behavior
• Self-care and Daily Living Skills - Direct instruction and environmental
supports such as added prompts and simplified routines are important in
ensuring that limitations in their adaptive areas do not severely affect the
quality of life.
• Social Relationships-Their poor communication skills, inability to recognise others' emotional
state, and unusual or inappropriate behaviors can rent to social isolation. It is important to
teach them appropriate social and interpersonal skills.
