Guest guest Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 And here I thought ID was just the newest variation on political correctness, in lieu of developmental or cognitive disability or MR. I must be getting old, because as the labels keep changing it makes me cranky! (IMHO, use of the word intellectual almost invites ridicule. If it IS due to PC, then I think it’s a bad change.) Surely someone from the ARC must know the answer to this question – anybody?

I believe ID encompasses all those born with intellectual variances AND those who develop an intellectual difference some time after birth. DD would be more specific to individuals born with an intellectual difference...at least this is how I understand the two terms. Anyone know for sure?

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Since the term is from United Cerebral Palsy's report on states & Medicaid, I'd hope that the UCP website tells us. A quick search gave a bunch of responses, but none were clearly a glossary. ________________________________ From: ELLEN BRONFELD <egskb@...> IPADDUnite Sent: Fri, April 29, 2011 10:46:58 AM Subject: ID and DD I often use ID and DD as relatively interchangeable terms.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Intellectual Disability (ID) replaces Mental Retardation (MR). Developmental Disability can refer to any disability (autism, cerebral palsy, etc.) present at an early age with or without ID. Since, like its predecessors (idiot, moron, cretin) mentally retarded has become an insult, it was time to move on. > > And here I thought ID was just the newest variation on political correctness, in lieu of developmental or cognitive disability or MR.
