Question
A child has been slow in response and poor in memory since childhood, leading to intellectual disability that prevents normal school enrollment. After a detailed examination, it was diagnosed as intellectual disability. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
In this case, it is recommended to conduct a comprehensive assessment, including brain imaging and EEG tests, to determine if there are any substantial brain abnormalities. The diagnosis of intellectual disability should consider psychological and emotional changes, the postnatal learning environment, and dietary nutrition. Maintaining a positive attitude and healthy lifestyle habits, along with targeted intellectual training, can help improve the child’s personal living abilities. It is suggested to visit a specialist hospital for etiological examination and to receive treatment as soon as possible. Additionally, the patient’s dietary status and psychological condition are extremely important throughout the treatment process.
