	Mental retardation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mental retardation (also called mental handicap and, as defined by the UK Mental Health Act 1983, mental impairment and severe mental impairment) is a term for a pattern of persistently slow learning of basic motor and language skills ("milestones") during childhood, and a significantly below-normal global intellectual capacity as an adult.

	Disability Info: Mental Retardation Fact Sheet (FS8)
		Mental retardation is a term used when a person has certain limitations in mental functioning and in skills such as communicating, taking care of him or herself, and social skills.

		Mental retardation is also not a type of mental illness, like depression.

	Mental Disability Evaluation
		Considering the greater subjectivity and ambiguity of mental disability evaluation, the result of the disparity for the claimant is that the often liberalizing impact of sympathetic examiners is lessened as the case essentially is resolved by one person rather than by two.
		The inevitable case outcome effects should be especially strong in the evaluation of mental disability, which forces the observer to bring more of his or her own self to the evaluation process than is true for physical disability.
		Although the evaluation of claims for physical disability is difficult enough, SSA should explicitly acknowledge that, in contrast to its operating ideology, applying the same kinds of objective criteria to both physical and mental disability is fundamentally misguided.

	Physical and Mental Disability Complaints - Manitoba Human Rights Commission
		Disability is defined as " any restriction or lack of ability to perform an activity in a manner or within the range which is considered normal." So disability focuses on functional limitations that are experienced in everyday life and that are a practical result of an impairment.
		Handicap is defined as " a disadvantage for a given individual, resulting from an impairment or a disability that limits or prevents a fulfillment of a role that is normal for that individual." Handicap, then, focuses on the social and environmental consequences that a person experiences because he or she has impairments and disabilities.
		Where the ground of "physical or mental disability" is concerned, such cases often involve policies or practices with respect to employment sick leave, disability plans, job requirements or pre-employment testing.
