Question
A child shows signs of intellectual disability in language expression and walking stability, and the parents hope to understand how to prevent the occurrence of intellectual disability.
Answer
For individuals with mild intellectual disability, preventive measures include teaching basic skills such as counting and writing simple words. In terms of vocational training, children can be guided to learn simple operational skills, such as making basic items. Intelligence enhancement kits are particularly important during childhood. The treatment methods for intellectual disability are diverse, but as patient symptoms vary, so do the treatment methods. Therefore, it is recommended that diagnosis and treatment be initiated as soon as symptoms are detected.
