• Other evidence of failure to meet developmental milestones in several areas of intellectual functioning when individual’s disabilities prevent standardised assessment, or
• Deficits in adaptive functioning that result in failure to meet developmental milestones, below 2nd percentile across majority of functioning, and
• Adaptive functioning deficits indicate significant impairment in several domains - communication, social participation, early learning and development.
