Mental Health Disability Benefits & Mild Intellectual Disability

 

Mild intellectual disability is a learning disability, but is relatively mild compared to other mental illness. Primarily diagnosed in children, mild intellectual disability generally implies a child has a lower IQ, and are 2-4 years behind in learning ability. Children with the condition often require special teaching methods, as conventional approaches are quickly deemed insufficient.

Luckily, the learning disability can be overcome with a combination of hard work and determination from both the child and their guardians. Numerous teaching methods have been developed and refined over the years, identified to greatly improve a child’s understanding and ability to comprehend the world around them.

What Disability Benefits in Canada am I eligible for?

Even with a clear solution to mild intellectual disability, the extra work and time in helping the child can be an emotional and financial challenge. Special classes, special equipment, and even extra care may be required depending on the severity of the disability.
