[quote=cjjaffe]The term "mental retardation" has been replaced in federal statutes with the term "intellectual disability" per Congress's passage of Rosa's law in 2010 due to its negative connotation. Even though much of the general public is not aware of this change, those who have a child with special needs certainly are. Therefore, I am requesting that the code "MR" for "Mentally Retarded" be changed to "ID" for "Intellectually Disabled".[/quote]
