Question
My child is not very agile with their hands and feet, and they are particularly quiet, do not like to talk, and do not like to laugh. They also cannot use the bathroom independently. Do these symptoms indicate intellectual disability? Do they need rehabilitation training?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, whether it is an intellectual disability can only be determined by a pediatric care check at the hospital. It is recommended that you closely observe your child’s behavior and check if their cerebellum development is normal. The treatment methods for intellectual disability are diverse, but due to the differences in patient symptoms, the diagnostic and treatment methods adopted will also vary. Therefore, it is recommended that you seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible once symptoms are detected.
