Question
A one-year-old baby has been found to have an intellectual disability. How should parents treat it?
Answer
Children with intellectual disability may experience delays in reaching developmental milestones such as rolling over, sitting up, and standing. Parents can implement targeted training based on the child’s characteristics while maintaining a balanced diet. In addition to medication, the patient’s diet and mental state are also very important. Patients should avoid excessive mental stress and anxiety to prevent affecting the recovery from intellectual disability.
