Abstract
Over the years, we have learned a tremendous amount about mental retardation. The history of mental retardation is, in fact, quite long, and as a result there are many concepts and concerns that should be discussed. It is indeed fortunate that this area has received so much attention; however, it is probably due to this attention that new questions have arisen that remain to be answered.
