Note

* It is generally agreed that an intellectual disability originates before age 18 and is characterized by limitations in both:

• Cognitive functioning (such as learning, reasoning, problem solving, and planning)
• Adaptive behaviour (such as conceptual skills, social skills, and practical skills)

+Campus For All reserves the right to request documentation regarding the intellectual disability, including a clinical diagnosis by a registered psychologist.
