foreword 

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Montreal WHO Collaborating Centre for Research and Training in Mental Health 

published an Atlas on Global Resources for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities (Atlas-ID) in 2007. This project was conducted 

between 2005 and 2007 by the West Montreal and Lisette-Dupras readaptation centres for persons with intellectual disabilities. 

An Atlas relating specifcally to resources and services offered in the feld of intellectual disabilities (ID) was deemed necessary by the 

WHO to acquire an overview of the situation in specifc countries, as well as to improve the body of knowledge and awareness on 

the global and regional disparities in services and resources for persons with ID. The Atlas-ID includes information from 147 countries, 

representing 95% of the world population, and numerous explanatory graphs and tables, as well as call for actions. 

The Atlas thus represents a valuable '' snapshot'' of the national services and resources available to the persons with intellectual 

disabilities and their families. It is also an ID research milestone, in that it establishes the feasibility of a worldwide research study on 

intellectual disabilities. 

The Atlas-ID was launched during the Second International Conference on Intellectual Disabilities, held in Bangkok in November 2007. 

In 2008, the CRDI Gabrielle-Major (CRDI GM), the Centre de réadaptation Lisette-Dupras (CRLD), the West Montreal 

Readaptation Centre (WMRC), in collaboration with the Montreal WHO Collaborating Centre for Research and Training in Mental 

Health, produced a French and a plain-language, or adapted, version of the WHO Atlas-ID report. Plain language version of the 

Atlas-ID were produced in three languages: French, English and Spanish. The Project Atlas-ID still had one last contribution to 

offer: The complete listing of all the Internet (Web) sources consulted during the WHO Atlas-ID project. These sources are not 

comprehensive by any means, but nonetheless constitute a starting point towards building a network of international resources in 

intellectual disabilities. 

The WHO Atlas-ID report amounts to a call for the mobilization of resources and for greater respect of the basic individual rights 

of persons with intellectual disabilities at the national and international level. With this in mind, this compendium of national 

and international intellectual disabilities resources represents Project Atlas-ID’s fnal contribution towards narrowing international 

disparities in services and resources across the globe. We, the editors, hope that it will prove useful to those who continue to fght 

for the rights of individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families.

note to the reader 

You will fnd in the following publication a complete listing of all the Internet (Web) sources consulted during the WHO Atlas-ID 

project. These sources are not comprehensive by any means, but represent the data gathered between 2005 and 2007 by the 

Atlas-ID team while searching for national respondents for the WHO Atlas-ID project. 

As mentioned in the WHO Atlas-ID Report, the data for the project was collected through these national respondents. A set 

of criteria was used to establish a group as homogeneous as possible. Respondents thus needed to be specialists in the feld of 

intellectual disabilities, and represent, in order of preference: (1) the government or ministry responsible for intellectual disabilities; 

(2) a public organization acting as an advisory body to the government in matters of intellectual disabilities; (3) a national 

non-governmental organization (NGO) dealing with intellectual disabilities; or (4) a reputable university or research institution 

specializing in the feld of intellectual disabilities. 

The Atlas-ID team collected a great number of national resources through this process. Not all of these resources accepted to 

take part in this project. Others were only contacted in order to indicate to us the most suitable national respondent. The number 

of national resources collected was also proportional to the time and effort necessary for fnding a suitable national respondent 

willing to participate in the Atlas-ID project. Thus, as the reader will notice, the compendium presents an unequal spread of 

catalogued national resources. This should not be construed in any way as meaning that some countries have less resources than 

others (although that is also true in many cases), but rather that the search for national respondents ceased once the Atlas-ID 

team had received the completed Atlas-ID questionnaire. The harder the searches for a national respondent, the more resources 

were collected. 

The reader will also notice that the document is composed of three sections. The frst part contains the complete listing by country 

of all the Internet (Web) sources consulted during the WHO Atlas-ID project, while the second part lists the international and 

regional organizations that were found to be active in the feld of intellectual disabilities. The third part contains the Atlas-ID 

questionnaires and glossaries in the four languages used for the project: English, French, Spanish and Russian. 

Although aware of the limitations involved in presenting a comprehensive document, we, the Montreal coordinating team of the 

Atlas-ID project, nonetheless aimed at two overall objectives in this undertaking. First, we wished to make available everything that 

was collected during the WHO Atlas-ID project: the Web sources, but also the glossary of terms used in the Atlas-ID questionnaire 

and the Atlas-ID questionnaires themselves, in English, French, Spanish and Russian. Second, we wished to provide a useful 

complement to the listing of respondent networks by country included in the WHO Atlas-ID report of 2007.

WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO) 

DEPARTMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE 

AND 

MONTREAL PAN AMERICAN HEALTH ORGANIZATION (PAHO) /WHO 

COLLABORATING CENTRE FOR REFERENCE AND TRAINING IN MENTAL HEALTH 

The definitions used in this glossary are simply working definitions for the 

purpose of this project and are not official WHO definitions. In case of 

discrepancies between glossary translations, the English version should prevail. 

Question 1.1 

Intellectual disability: Refers to a condition of arrested or incomplete development of 

the mind that can occur with or without any other physical or mental disorders and is 

characterized by impairment of skills and overall intelligence in areas such as cognition, 

language, and motor and social abilities. This includes children, adolescents, adults and 

the elderly population. 

Question 1.2 

Diagnostic/Classification: There are numerous diagnostic and/or classifications of 

intellectual disabilities. The four most commonly used ones are the AAMR definition, the 

DSM-IV, the ICD-10, and ICF. 

atlas-iD | CompenDium of sourCes useD 301

appen D ix 2 

a) American Association for Mental Retardation (AAMR) classification (2002) 

“Mental retardation is a disability characterized by significant limitations both in 

intellectual functioning and in adaptive behaviour as expressed in conceptual, social, 

and practical adaptive skills. This disability originates before age 18.” 

b) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) definition 

“Significantly sub average general intellectual functioning that is accompanied by 

significant limitations in adaptive functioning in at least two of the following skill areas: 

communication, self-care, home living, social/interpersonal skills, work, leisure, health, 

and safety. The onset must occur before age 18 years.” According to the association, 

there are five degrees of mental retardation: mild, moderate, severe, profound, and 

severity unspecified. 

c) International Statistical Classification of Disease and Related Health Problems (ICD 

10) 

"Mental retardation is a condition of arrested or incomplete development of the mind, 

which is especially characterized by impairment of skills manifested during the 

developmental period, skills which contribute to the overall level of intelligence, i.e. 

cognitive, language, motor, and social abilities. Degrees of mental retardation are 

conventionally estimated by standardized intelligence tests. These measures provide an 

approximate indication of the degree of mental retardation [mild mental retardation, 

moderate mental retardation, severe mental retardation, profound mental retardation, 

other mental retardation, and unspecified mental retardation].” (WHO, 1993). 

d) The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) 

The ICF proposed that the conception of intellectual disability no longer be regarded as 

a disease or even the simple physical or psychological consequence of disease, but 

rather as a problem of functioning of the whole person. In this model, functioning is 

considered as interaction of the person with his environment and is the result of 

interactions between a person who is experiencing health problems and environmental 

factors. The picture produced by this combination of factors and dimensions is of "the 

person in his or her world" (WHO, 2001). 

Question 3.1 

National policy/programme: 

• National policy: An organized set of values, principles, objectives and areas of 

action to improve the situation of people with intellectual disability in the country, 

the priorities among those goals and the main directions for attaining them. 

• National programme: A national plan of action that includes the lines of action 

required to give effect to a policy. It describes and organizes actions aimed at the 

achievement of the objectives. 

Question 3.2 

National level: Refers to national or federal authorities.

• Tax-based funding: Way of financing services raised by general taxation. 

• Out-of-pocket - Way of financing services by payments made by the user or his 

/ her family as the need arises. 

• Social insurance: Way of financing services by a fixed percentage of income 

that everyone above a certain level of income is required to pay to the 

government-administered health insurance fund which, in return, pays for part or 

all of consumers’ services. Within those systems, people receive care even if 

they don't contribute to the system due to their low income level. 

• Private insurance: Way of financing by a premium that social/health-care 

consumers pay voluntarily to a private insurance company which, in return, pays 

for part or all of their care. 

• External grants: Way of financing by money provided by other countries or 

international organizations for direct or indirect services to persons, or a family 

member, with intellectual disability. 

• Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs): Voluntary organizations, charitable 

groups, service-user, advocacy groups or professional associations.

CENTRE COLLABORATEUR DE L’ORGANISATION PANAMÉRICAINE DE 

LA SANTÉ (OPS) /OMS DE MONTRÉAL POUR LA RÉFÉRENCE ET LA 

FORMATION EN SANTÉ MENTALE 

Les définitions rapportées dans ce glossaire sont des définitions simples 

élaborées spécifiquement pour ce projet et ne sont pas les définitions officielles 

de l’OMS. Veuillez notez que, dans le cas où il y aurait discordance entre une 

traduction du glossaire et la version anglaise, cette dernière est à préconiser. 

Question 1.1 

Déficience intellectuelle : Condition d’arrêt du développement intellectuel ou de 

développement intellectuel incomplet qui peut survenir avec ou sans problème de santé 

mentale ou déficience physique et qui est caractérisé par une insuffisance des facultés 

et du niveau global d’intelligence, notamment au niveau des fonctions cognitives du 

langage, de la motricité et des performances sociales. Cette définition convient tant aux 

enfants, aux adolescents, aux adultes et aux personnes âgées. 

Question 1.2 

Diagnostic/Classification: Il existe de nombreuses définitions et/ou classifications de la 

déficience intellectuelle. Les quatre plus courantes sont celles de l’AAMR, du DSM-IV, 

de la CIM-10 et de la CIF. 


1

appen D ix 2 

a) Classification de l’AAMR 

« Le retard mental est une incapacité caractérisée par des limitations significatives du 

fonctionnement intellectuel et du comportement adaptatif qui se manifeste dans les 

habiletés conceptuelles, sociales et pratiques. Cette incapacité survient avant l’âge de 

18 ans. » 

b) Définition du Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) 

« Fonctionnement intellectuel général significativement inférieur à la moyenne 

accompagné de déficits concomitants ou d’altérations du fonctionnement adaptatif 

actuel concernant au moins deux des secteurs suivants : communication, autonomie, vie 

domestique, aptitudes sociales et interpersonnelles, mise à profit des ressources de 

l’environnement, responsabilité individuelle, utilisation des acquis scolaires, travail, 

loisirs, santé et sécurité. Le retard mental doit apparaître avant l’âge de 18 ans. » Le 

DSM-IV identifie cinq degrés de retard mental : le retard mental léger, le retard mental 

moyen, le retard mental grave, le retard mental profond et le retard mental de gravité 

non spécifiée. 

c) Classification internationale des maladies (CIM-10) 

« Condition d’arrêt du développement mental ou de développement mental incomplet, 

caractérisé essentiellement par une insuffisance des facultés qui déterminent le niveau 

global d’intelligence, c’est-à-dire les fonctions cognitives, le langage, la motricité et les 

performances sociales. Pour établir un diagnostic précis de déficience intellectuelle, le 

quotient intellectuel doit être évalué à l’aide de tests d’intelligence standardisés, passés 

de façon individuelle, et adaptés aux normes culturelles locales. Nous pouvons donc, à 

partir de ces derniers, identifier le niveau de déficience intellectuelle (léger, moyen, 

grave, profond ou de degré non spécifié)». 

d) Classification internationale du fonctionnement, du handicap et de la santé (CIF) 

La CIF propose que la déficience intellectuelle ne soit dorénavant plus perçue comme 

une maladie ou comme la conséquence physique ou psychologique d’une maladie, mais 

plutôt comme un problème lié au fonctionnement de la personne entière. Selon la CIF, le 

fonctionnement consiste en l’interaction de la personne avec son environnement et en le 

résultat des rapports entre une personne présentant des problèmes de santé et 

différents facteurs environnementaux. L’image qui résulte de cette combinaison de 

facteurs et de dimensions se traduit par « la personne dans son environnement».

compris ceux dont le revenu ne permet pas de contribuer au programme. 

• Assurance privée: Méthode de financement se traduisant par une prime que les

instrumento para el proyecto y por tanto no pueden ser tomadas como 

definiciones oficiales de la OMS. En caso de discrepancias entre las distintas 

traducciones, la versión en inglés prevalecerá sobre las demás. 

Pregunta 1.1 

Discapacidad intelectual: Trastorno definido por la presencia de un desarrollo mental 

incompleto o detenido, que puede producirse con o sin cualquier otro trastorno físico o 

mental y está caracterizado por el impedimento de habilidades e inteligencia en áreas 

tales como cognitivas, lenguaje, y habilidades sociales y motóricas. Incluye a población 

infantil, juvenil, adulta y mayor. 

Pregunta 1.2 

Diagnostico/Clasificación: Existen distintos diagnósticos y/o clasificaciones de las 

discapacidades intelectuales. Los cuatro más utilizados son la definición de la AMMR, el 

DSM-IV, el CIE-10 y la CIF. 

a) Clasificación de la Asociación Americana sobre Retraso Mental (AAMR) (2002) 

"Retraso mental es una discapacidad caracterizada por limitaciones significativas en el 

funcionamiento intelectual y la conducta adaptativa tal como se ha manifestado en 

habilidades prácticas, sociales y conceptuales. Dicha discapacidad comienza antes de 

los 18 años". 


1

appen D ix 2 

b) Definición del Manual Diagnóstico y Estadístico de los Trastorno Mentales (DSM-IV) 

"Capacidad intelectual generalizada significativamente por debajo del promedio 

acompañada de limitaciones significativas de la actividad adaptativa en al menos dos de 

las siguientes áreas de habilidad: comunicación, cuidado personal, vida doméstica, 

habilidades sociales/interpersonales, trabajo, ocio, salud y seguridad. El retraso mental 

comienza antes de los 18 años". Según esta clasificación, existen cinco grados de 

retraso mental: leve, moderado, grave, profundo y de gravedad no especificada. 

c) Clasificación Internacional de las Enfermedades y Problemas de Salud (CIE-10) 

"El retraso mental es un trastorno definido por la presencia de un desarrollo mental 

incompleto o detenido, caracterizado principalmente por el deterioro de las funciones 

concretas de cada época del desarrollo y que contribuyen al nivel global de la 

inteligencia, tales como las funciones cognoscitivas, las del lenguaje, las motrices y la 

socialización. Los niveles de retraso mental se miden convencionalmente mediante test 

de inteligencia. Estas medidas proporcionan una indicación del grado de retraso mental 

(retraso mental leve, retraso mental moderado, retraso mental severo, retraso mental 

profundo, otro retraso mental y retraso mental no especificado)" (OMS, 1993). 

d) Clasificación Internacional del Funcionamiento, de la Discapacidad y de la Salud 

(CIF) 

La CIF propone una concepción de la discapacidad intelectual no como enfermedad ni 

como consecuencia física o psicológica de una enfermedad, sino como un problema del 

funcionamiento de la persona en su conjunto. En dicho modelo, el funcionamiento es 

considerado como la interacción de la persona con su medio ambiente y el resultado de 

la interacción entre la persona, que experimenta problemas de salud, y los factores 

medioambientales. El resultado de esta combinación de factores y dimensiones es "la 

persona en su contexto" (OMS, 2001). 

Pregunta 3.1 

Política/programa nacional:
