This is a diagnostic term used when a person over the age of five is suspected to have an intellectual disability, but a definitive diagnosis cannot be made due to difficulties in assessment, often because of sensory or physical impairments, severe behavioral issues, or co-occurring mental health conditions. This diagnosis is used when standardized testing is not possible or reliable due to these limitations.
