Pain Sensitivity in Children with Severe Intellectual Disability

We do not have a thorough understanding of how children with severe intellectual disability experience pain. Children with severe IDD may be unable to self report or communicate their level of pain. They may have a higher pain tolerance because several developmental disabilities may be associated with atypical pain sensitivity. Another posibility is that they may experience typical pain levels but express it atypically.
