Answer

Cognitive disabilities include conditions like autism and Down's syndrome. Some less severe conditions are called learning disabilities, such as dyslexia (difficulty with reading) and dyscalculia (difficulty with math). The functional disability perspective looks at what a person can and cannot do instead of focusing on the medical reasons behind their cognitive disabilities.

The functional cognitive disabilities may involve difficulties or deficits involving:

  1. Problem-solving
  2. Memory
  3. Visual comprehension
  4. Linguistic (speech)
  5. Attention
  6. Math comprehension
  7. Reading
  8. Verbal comprehension
