Question
My child has shown poor performance since childhood, with low memory and intellectual disability, simple thinking, and unable to attend school normally. A friend suggested it might be intellectual disability. How should intellectual disability be treated?
Answer
Intellectual disability is a disease during the growth and development period, characterized by significantly lower intelligence than peers, accompanied by adaptive deficits. To enhance physical health levels, it is recommended to undergo specialized training in daily living skills, language functions, and simple cultural exercises. Parents should carefully observe the baby’s condition, discover it early, and take effective measures for correction, which can help promote intellectual growth and development and may avoid intellectual problems in children. In addition, while being treated, patients should maintain appropriate dietary habits in daily life and supplement the necessary nutrients for the body.
