Individuals with DD
People
with developmental disabilities are at least five years of age and have
a severe, chronic developmental disability with an impairment(s), mental
or physical, that occurred before they were 22 years of age with the expectation
that the disability(ies) will continue indefinitely. The developmental
disability limits the person in three or more of the following life activities:
language (receptive and expressive); learning; self-care; self-direction;
economic self-sufficiency; independent living; or mobility.
Persons with developmental disabilities also need a combination of and sequence of special, interdisciplinary treatment or other services that are individually planned and coordinated and are for an extended duration. This may include people with mental retardation. However, not every person with mental retardation meets the criteria for developmental disabilities or vice versa.
