Mental retardation, a condition characterized by deficits in intellectual capabilities and adaptive behavior, can be particularly hard to diagnose in the mild range of the disability. The U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) provides income support and medical benefits to individuals with cognitive limitations who experience significant problems in their ability to perform work and may therefore be in need of governmental support. Addressing the concern that SSA's current procedures are consistent with current scientific and professional practices, this book evaluates the process used by SSA to determine eligibility for these benefits. It examines the adequacy of the SSA definition of mental retardation and its current procedures for assessing intellectual capabilities, discusses adaptive behavior and its assessment, advises on ways to combine intellectual and adaptive assessment to provide a complete profile of an individual's capabilities, and clarifies ways to differentiate mental retardation from other conditions. 606 $aIntellectual disability$xDiagnosis 606 $aDisability evaluation$zUnited States 606 $aSocial security$zUnited States 615 0$aIntellectual disability$xDiagnosis. 615 0$aDisability evaluation 615 0$aSocial security 676 $a616.85/884075 701 $aReschly$b Daniel J$01851902 701 $aMyers$b Tracy G$01796258 701 $aHartel$b Christine R.$f1947-$01807630 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Disability Determination for Mental Retardation. 712 02$aUnited States.$bSocial Security Administration. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970174303321 996 $aMental retardation$94446347 997 $aUNINA
