Question
Three-year-old boy, slow in response, still not speaking clearly, examination found intellectual disability. What are the treatment methods for intellectual disability?
Answer
There are many different causes of intellectual disability, including congenital genetic factors and important postnatal social, psychological, and cultural factors. Most children with obvious intellectual disability can be identified early in infancy, but mild intellectual disability is often not discovered until learning difficulties arise in elementary school. If you notice that a child’s activities and growth development are lagging behind, their response to the outside world is slow, their language development is poor, or they have a rigid expression or a distinctive facial appearance, they should go to the hospital for a specific examination as soon as possible to make an early diagnosis and receive other treatments. In fact, having intellectual disability is not horrible, patients should believe that they can overcome the disease, as long as they are diagnosed early and treated promptly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovery are very high.
