Moderately Retarded |
|
|
About 10 percent of people with mental retardation are moderately retarded. They can progress to about the second-grade level in academic skills. By adolescence, they usually have good self-care skills—such as eating, dressing, and going to the bathroom—and can perform simple tasks. As adults, most can work at unskilled or semiskilled jobs with supervision. |
