What is moderate mental retardation?

Moderate Mental Retardation

An IQ of 35-40 to 50-55 is considered moderate retardation. Schools often call individuals with moderate retardation "trainable." Children with moderate retardation tend to grow up needing moderate supervision and assistance. They typically do not progress beyond a second-grade level in school, may have difficulty with communication and socializing, and can benefit greatly from vocational training.
