Question
How should children with intellectual disability be treated?
Answer
For children with intellectual disability, the earlier treatment and educational training are initiated, the better. It is generally considered that starting before the age of 6 yields the best results. Children with intellectual disability between the ages of 6 and 12 still have potential for treatment. Family rehabilitation work should persistently adhere to the principle of combining nutrition, education, care, and treatment. It is recommended to take the child to a pediatric department in the hospital for a thorough examination. If brain development is incomplete, treatment can include intelligence-enhancing brain pills, brain-nourishing supplements, and language rehabilitation training.
