Question
My child is in first grade, but I always feel like they can’t learn anything, there might be an intellectual issue. How should I treat my child’s intellectual disability?
Answer
There are many causes of pediatric intellectual disability. Some children may just be slower in their growth and development compared to their peers, and their intelligence will naturally improve over time. However, others may have intellectual disability due to brain diseases. Parents should bring their children to the hospital for an intelligence test promptly. If the intellectual disability is caused by a brain disease, parents should pay attention and actively seek treatment, employing neuro-targeted therapy to stabilize the child’s condition. They should also spend more time with their children and be patient. In addition to timely treatment for intellectual disability, patients should maintain a positive attitude towards the disease to lower immunity and enhance confidence in fighting the illness. They should also pay attention to personal health, focusing on a balanced diet and ensuring timely digestion of the necessary nutrients.
