Question
How should one typically approach the prevention of intellectual disability?
Answer
The focus of treating intellectual disability lies in early stimulation and training to promote brain development. This includes stimulating children through their visual, sensory, and tactile channels with alternating and repetitive stimulation to open neural pathways and enhance response and speed. Additionally, based on the child’s intellectual development status, a training plan should be formulated that includes activities, language, cognitive, social skills, and self-care abilities, progressing gradually to promote the child’s overall development and improve intelligence levels. During the treatment process, in addition to medication, the patient’s dietary condition and mental state are also very important. It is necessary to maintain a cheerful mood and have a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary effects on the recovery from intellectual disability.
