For those of us working with this population, since the 1994 DSM-IV, it has been difficult using the various DSM diagnoses called mental retardation (MR). It's nice to see that the APA is likely to yield to considerable pressure to finally change these diagnostic labels to Intellectual Disabilities (ID). Hopefully, they will also replace IQ with something more functional in determining classification.
