Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A measured IQ of 70 falls within the range of mild intellectual disability, which means Rasha may have difficulties with academic and social skills. It does not necessarily mean her knowledge of the world is lower than her peers or that she has Down syndrome. And there is no information given to suggest that Rasha's mother has an intellectual disability. However, it does suggest that Rasha has performed below the average for nine-year-olds.
