Question
A five-year-old boy is experiencing difficulties in language expression and falling while walking, diagnosed with intellectual disability. The parents are urgently seeking a quick and effective treatment method.
Answer
Intellectual disability, especially when associated with cerebral palsy, cannot be completely cured, but can be treated to approach normal levels through comprehensive therapy. In current medical practice, medication is only used as an auxiliary means, while rehabilitation training, massage, and other non-pharmacological treatment methods are the core of the treatment and indispensable. Parents should actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment plan and maintain patience and confidence throughout the treatment process. If the treatment is not effective, communicate with the doctor promptly to adjust the treatment plan.
