Question 3

Describe cultural-familial causes of intellectual disability.

Accepted Answer

Cultural-familial causes of intellectual disability refer to factors within a family or cultural environment that can contribute to a person having intellectual disabilities. These causes can include limited access to education, lack of resources for early intervention and support, and cultural beliefs or practices that may not prioritize intellectual development. For example, a family living in poverty may not have access to quality education or healthcare, which can impact a child's cognitive development. Additionally, certain cultural beliefs or stigmas surrounding disability may lead to a lack of support and inclusion for individuals with intellectual disabilities within their families and communities. It's important to address these cultural-familial causes in order to provide equal opportunities and support for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
