Those with an intellectual disability have limitations when it comes to conceptual, social, and practical skills used every day (Mash & Wolfe, 2016).

The deficits in intellectual functions include, reasoning, planning, learning from experience, and/or problem-solving (Mash & Wolfe, 2016). Adaptive functioning is important when assessing someone’s intellectual functioning. In court, a person is deemed competent or not based on their mental state. Without adaptive functioning, a person is unable to functionally communicate. Therefore, an intellectual evaluation would not be passed if taken by someone who does not have adaptive functioning.
