Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How many Standard Deviations below the Average, in IQ and Adaptive behavior, does a child need qualify for ID?
A
1
B
2
C
3
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The overall composite scores on two or more adaptive behavior measures are 2.0 standard deviations or more below the mean for the measure being used.

Detailed explanation-2: -IQ test results fall along the normal (bell-shaped) curve, with an average IQ of 100, and individuals who are intellectually disabled are usually two standard deviations below the average (IQ below 70).

Detailed explanation-3: -In DSM-5, intellectual disability is considered to be approximately two standard devia-tions or more below the population, which equals an IQ score of about 70 or below.

Detailed explanation-4: -mild intellectual disability (IQ between 50 and 70) moderate intellectual disability (IQ between 35/40-50/55) severe intellectual disability (IQ between 20/25-35/40) profound intellectual disability (IQ below 20/25)

Detailed explanation-5: -Diagnosing Intellectual Disability While a specific full-scale IQ test score is no longer required for diagnosis, standardized testing is used as part of diagnosing the condition. A full-scale IQ score of around 70 to 75 indicates a significant limitation in intellectual functioning.
