Those who are mildly impaired with higher functioning may develop reading skills at a fifth- or sixth-grade level. The child who is severely impaired requires a great deal of assistance with ADL but can conform to daily routines and repetitive activities. Language development is minimal. The profoundly impaired child requires complete assistance with all aspects of daily life.
