Back in the day, Moron, Imbecile and Idiot had specific IQ ranges
to
be
classified as such...

I sort of knew that, but I wonder what they do now.

Intellectually disabled mostly
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_disability

I've not heard that term. The usual euphemism is "learning
difficulties"
That's more for kids rather than adults.
which tends to refer to people who are unkindly and humorously referred
to
as "the hard of thinking"
That's more of an insult.


I know a number of people who work in that segment of the health care
field.


The correct term is "adults with disabilities".

There is no such animal as the correct term and disabled is just as valid.
