Question
A five-year-old boy exhibits limited language abilities and often stumbles while walking, suggesting an intellectual disability. How should treatment be approached?
Answer
In cases of intellectual disability, it is first necessary to rule out the possibility of cerebral palsy or other brain disorders. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to confirm the diagnosis. If confirmed to be cerebral palsy or a brain disorder, treatment should be sought promptly. Additionally, it is suggested to pay attention to diet in daily life and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude to enhance physical health and promote recovery.
