Mild mental/multiple disabilities 

 Children with mild mental/multiple disabilities  may learn to sit up, to crawl, or to walk later than other children, or they may learn to talk later.  Both adults and children with mental disabilities  may also exhibit some or all of the following characteristics:

• Delays in oral language development
• Deficits in memory skills
• Difficulty learning social rules
• Difficulty with problem solving skills
• Delays in the development of adaptive behaviors such as self-help or self-care skills
• Lack of social inhibitors

Children with mental disabilities learn more slowly than a typical child. Children may take longer to learn language, develop social skills, and take care of their personal needs, such as dressing or eating. Learning will take them longer, require more repetition, and skills may need to be adapted to their learning level. Nevertheless, virtually every child is able to learn, develop and become a participating member of the community.
