Question
My son is three years old, and he doesn’t speak much. He sometimes falls while walking. How should I treat my child’s intellectual disability?
Answer
For the situation you mentioned, according to my explanation, it can be considered as a disease of intellectual disability. Currently, this disease cannot be completely cured, but through special education and scientific rehabilitation training methods, intellectual ability can be effectively improved. It is important to detect early, diagnose early, and treat early to slow down and control the progression of the disease. Mild intellectual disability can be treated by adjusting lifestyle, maintaining a stable nutritional structure, and correcting bad habits; severe intellectual disability may require medication control, of course, with a gradual and persistent approach. Intellectual disability is a disease that is not easy to alleviate. Patients should maintain a positive attitude, actively face the challenge. Only in this way can patients’ confidence in combating intellectual disability be enhanced, and believe that through effort, recovery is possible.
