Question
What recommendations does a hospital specializing in the treatment of intellectual disability have for my girlfriend’s child? The child shows slow responses, poor memory, intellectual disability, simplistic thinking, inability to write complex characters, and cannot attend school normally. Is the treatment for intellectual disability effective?
Answer
If your child has been diagnosed with intellectual disability, it’s understandable for parents to be concerned. If your baby responds slower than same age babies, parents naturally feel anxious, worrying whether it is a sign of intellectual disability. Experts point out that there are indeed differences in responses among children of the same age, but these differences are usually not significant, and slow responses do not necessarily mean intellectual disability. In addition to seeking treatment for intellectual disability in a timely manner, patients and their families should maintain a positive attitude towards the disease, which can help enhance patients’ immunity and confidence in combating the disease. At the same time, attention should be paid to diet and nutrition care, ensuring a balanced diet and timely supplementing the body’s required nutrients. Believe that such efforts can help patients overcome intellectual disability.
