One in 10 children have a disability (neurological, emotional, behavioral, developmental, physical). Couples (parents) of special needs children benefit from support such as psychotherapy and regular date nights (50% or more of all special needs couples divorce). Mental illness and intellectual disability are not the same.
Mental illness affects a person's thinking, behavior, and mood, whereas individuals with an intellectual disability experience limitations in intellectual function and difficulties with certain skills.
