Under new SC law, the terms "mental retardation" and "mentally retarded" will be stripped from all policy, procedures, standards and the like. "Intellectual disability" and "individual with an intellectual disability" will be inserted in their place. Likewise, the combination of MR/RD (Mental Retardation or a related disability) will be replaced with ID/RD (Intellectual disability or a related disability). These changes will occur as policies, procedures and other documents come up for revision over the next several years. The language swap will not alter the rights of individuals with disabilities nor will it alter the diagnostic criteria or conditions required for DDSN eligibility or for federal or state benefits.
