In the context of special education, CD stands for ‘Cognitive Disabilities.’ This term is used to describe a range of conditions that impact a person’s ability to think, learn, and remember. Cognitive disabilities can affect various aspects of a person’s functioning, including problem-solving skills, language abilities, and social interactions.
Cognitive disabilities can vary significantly in severity, meaning that some individuals may have mild challenges while others may have more profound impacts on their learning and daily living skills. It’s crucial for educators and support staff to understand the specific needs of each individual with cognitive disabilities to provide appropriate accommodations and interventions in an educational setting.
