Question
How should one handle the situation of a child with intellectual disability?
Answer
Intellectual disability is characterized by a developmental delay in brain function, which limits learning and social adaptation abilities. This condition can be identified in infants or children. Intellectual disability is not a disease but a permanent trait that cannot be cured with medication. However, training can enhance their reading and writing skills and daily living abilities. By combining medical, educational, and vocational training measures, appropriate training is conducted based on the patient’s age and level of intellectual development to improve their intellectual level.
