Question
A child has had few smiles since birth and is less active than same age peers, causing concern for the parents. What are the treatment methods for intellectual disability?
Answer
Intellectual disability is a condition that cannot be completely cured. For patients, special education and scientific rehabilitation training can effectively improve intellectual levels. It is recommended that parents take their child to a regular hospital for diagnosis. Additionally, in daily life, attention should be paid to diet, avoiding monosodium glutamate, reducing the intake of drinks, yogurt, sugar, and puffed snacks, and choosing healthy foods such as eggs, milk, and potatoes instead. The impact of intellectual disability on patients and their families should not be overlooked. Once related symptoms are detected, timely professional treatment should be sought, and appropriate rehabilitation training should be conducted under professional guidance.
