Question
When learning, how can I teach a child who doesn’t understand or can’t perform tasks, and who often responds slowly? I suspect they have intellectual disability. What are the symptoms, and how should one treat intellectual disability?
Answer
Children with intellectual disability must be treated promptly. Through early intervention and therapy, mild cases can significantly improve their intellectual level, even returning to normal; moderate cases can reduce the severity of harm; severe cases can reduce or prevent more serious disabilities. It is recommended to go to a large hospital for a thorough examination, including MRI or CT scans. If there are any issues, active treatment and rehabilitation should be pursued without delay. In addition to timely treatment for intellectual disability, patients should always maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can patients receive timely treatment according to their symptoms. At the same time, they should pay more attention to their diet and care, as well as monitor their symptom changes closely, believing that this will definitely help to overcome intellectual disability.
