Question
What challenges may children with intellectual disabilities face during their growth, and how can we help them adapt to adult life?
Answer
As children with intellectual disabilities grow up, they may live with grandparents or have less contact with their parents. To help them adapt to adult life, it is recommended to teach them to be self-reliant, such as dressing themselves, simple communication, and remembering the family address and their parents’ names. Additionally, cultivating a skill is crucial so that they can be self-sufficient when their parents are unable to care for them. Parents should invest more time, take on the responsibilities of education and nurturing, and help their children grow up healthily and happily, getting through each day smoothly.
