further assess this impairment, adaptive skills were also assessed. Testing indicates that _____’s
adaptive skills fall within the extremely low range with a General Adaptive Composite
Score in the extremely low range. He demonstrated deficits in nearly every domain. This
indicates that _____ is not functioning within the 16-year-old range. An additional neurological
measure provided evidence of low cognitive abilities, and further revealed issues with graphomotor skills, visual motor functioning, and visual integration. These results may be indicative
of developmental or neurological concerns and suggest concerns with _____’s frontal lobe. The
frontal lobe is also responsible for skills related to executive functioning. Executive functioning
skills play a role in memory, managing emotions, decision making, and self-control. Based off
of these results, _____ meets the criteria for Intellectual Disability, moderate. _____’s low
cognitive and executive functioning skills play a large role in his mental health and behavioral
