What is an intellectual disability?

Intellectual disability is when a doctor says someone has trouble with thinking and learning. This means they find it hard to learn things and do everyday tasks. People with intellectual disability can learn new things, it just might take them more time. They might need things explained in a different way. 

People with intellectual disability have the same rights, feelings, and goals as everyone else.
