Do all people with Down syndrome have intellectual disabilities?

Most people with Down syndrome do have some level of intellectual disability, ranging from mild to moderate. This may affect learning, problem-solving, and communication. However, with early intervention, inclusive education, and therapy, many individuals achieve independence, employment, and fulfilling social lives.

The degree of intellectual disability is different for every person—no two individuals are the same.
