Question
Yesterday, our neighbor found out that their child has been diagnosed with intellectual disability, which is very distressing. Which hospital is known for excelling in the treatment of intellectual disability?
Answer
For patients with intellectual disability whose etiology has been identified, such as chronic diseases, poisoning, long-term malnutrition, hearing and vision impairments, etc., it is essential to eliminate the causes as much as possible to partially or completely restore their intellectual abilities. This helps prevent the occurrence of intellectual disability. At the same time, medical, social, educational, and vocational training methods should be combined according to the patient’s age and the severity of the intellectual disability to achieve the highest possible intellectual level. Additionally, during the treatment process, the patient’s diet and care are also very important. It is crucial to ensure an adequate intake of vitamins, prevent diarrhea, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary health risks. I hope these suggestions will be helpful to you.
