My Child is Nine Months Old, Does He Have an Intellectual Issue?

Question

What should I do if my child, who is nine months old, has an intellectual issue?

Answer

My baby is over nine months old, born via normal delivery, and scored perfectly at birth. The baby has always liked sticking out its tongue and rarely closes its mouth. Of course, the child’s father also closed his mouth at one year old. I heard that sticking out the tongue is a sign of intellectual issues. Is that true? Now that my child is nine months old, he still can’t crawl. He smiles happily when he is pleased. He has undergone an intellectual test at the pediatrician’s office and was found to have low intelligence. According to what you’ve said, infants should receive rehabilitation treatment as soon as possible. Rehabilitation centers check and treat patients. It is recommended that you visit a pediatric neurology department at a regular hospital as soon as possible for a neurological examination and decide on any necessary auxiliary examinations. Based on the results of the examination, appropriate treatment or rehabilitation training can be carried out promptly.
