Question
What are the causes of intellectual disability in children?
Answer
In addition to timely treatment, patients with intellectual disability should also pay attention to maintaining deep sleep. Adequate deep sleep can help quickly recover from the condition. Intellectual disability in children may manifest as poor memory, simple thinking, and inability to attend school normally. In some children, the ability to speak and walk may not develop at the same pace; some children talk early, while others walk early. If a child speaks late but has normal hearing, it is generally not a concern. The growth and development of individuals with intellectual disability may be slightly slower than that of normal children, and they may not be as lively or interested in their surroundings. They may be very rule-bound in their actions or rough in behavior. Language development may be delayed, and the ability to grasp abstract vocabulary and inferential skills may be poor, leading to shallow understanding of interview questions. In addition to timely treatment, maintaining deep sleep is also very important. I hope this answer can help you. Thank you!
