Disorder of intellectual development, severe - CISMeF
Disorder of intellectual development, severeICD-11 Subcategory
ICD-11 code : 6A00.2;
Preferred Label : Disorder of intellectual development, severe;
ICD-11 definition : A severe disorder of intellectual development is a condition originating during the
developmental period characterized by significantly below average intellectual functioning
and adaptive behaviour that are approximately four of more standard deviations below
the mean (less than approximately the 0.003rd percentile), based on appropriately
normed, individually administered standardized tests or by comparable behavioural
indicators when standardized testing is unavailable. Affected persons exhibit very
limited language and capacity for acquisition of academic skills. They may also have
motor impairments and typically require daily support in a supervised environment
for adequate care, but may acquire basic self-care skills with intensive training.
Severe and profound disorders of intellectual development are differentiated exclusively
on the basis of adaptive behaviour differences because existing standardized tests
of intelligence cannot reliably or validly distinguish among individuals with intellectual
functioning below the 0.003rd percentile.;
