What is mild retardation?

Mild Retardation

An IQ of 50-55 to 70 is considered mild mental retardation, or what schools often term as "educable." Normal intelligence is between 80 and 120. Children with mild retardation tend to do fine in school with some assistance and grow up to live successful lives. Many, however, will need mild support, guidance, or supervision throughout their adult life.
