Question

How should one treat a child with mild intellectual disability, accompanied by symptoms such as hyperactivity, inattention, and unclear language expression?

Answer

In treating mild intellectual disability, the first step should be to focus on cultivating regular lifestyle habits in the child. Practical evidence shows that this approach helps to increase a child’s hyperactive behavior, and with long-term persistence, it is usually effective in suppressing and correcting ADHD, promoting normal psychological development. Additionally, it is recommended to check if the hyperactivity symptoms are caused by excessive lead levels. Apart from timely treatment for intellectual disability, parents should maintain a positive attitude, strengthen their child’s immunity and confidence in combating diseases, and pay attention to diet care, focusing on light foods and avoiding stimulating foods. It is believed that this can effectively improve the condition of intellectual disability.
