Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kaye's intellectual disability is most likely a result of her family's impoverished environment and not due to any organic, teratogenic, or metabolic factors. Intellectual disabilities that are a result of environmental factors such as poverty, malnutrition, and lack of access to education and resources are considered to be familial.
