A member asked:

What is profound retardation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Historically: Traditionally defined as iq at or below 20-25. Very rare indeed, since it would reflect a range below 98% of individuals classified as mentally retarded. There has been movement from medical and other ortanizations to change some of the labels.
