This book is distinguished by its detailed discussion of intellectual disability, its prevalence, and the factors contributing to its spread. It clarifies the mental, physical, social, emotional, and behavioral characteristics, explaining the causes of the disability. The book also addresses the causal factors of intellectual disability such as poverty and deprivation and their relationship to it, as well as the roles of heredity and environment. It classifies and measures intellectual disability based on influencing factors and clinical patterns, estimating IQ, psychological and social classification, and the role of educational classification, summarizing the diagnosis of individuals with intellectual disabilities through age-based intelligence scales and IQ ratios.

Furthermore, the book covers methods of preventing intellectual disability and general attitudes, explaining the general principles of prevention and the attitudes of people, teachers, peers, parents, and individuals with intellectual disabilities towards themselves. It then discusses the importance of care and treatment—medical, psychological, educational, and social—without neglecting the educational curricula for individuals with intellectual disabilities, covering the objectives of their education, the foundations upon which it is built, and the educational curricula for both educable and trainable individuals with intellectual disabilities.
