What level of Intellectual Disability has an IQ score in the 35-20 range?

Explanation:
An IQ in the low 20s up to the mid-30s fits the severe range. Typically, mild is about 50–70, moderate about 35–49, severe about 20–34, and profound below 20. So the 35–20 range sits in the severe category. Remember that adaptive functioning also matters for classification, but IQ bands are the standard way to categorize the level.
