Question
In the process of a child’s growth and development, if signs of delayed intellectual development appear, how should one seek effective treatment methods?
Answer
Intellectual disability refers to a group of disorders where there is a significant lower level of intellectual function than the same age group during the growth and development period, accompanied by adaptive behavior defects. If detected early and the cause is identified as soon as possible, intellectual abilities can potentially be improved through enlightenment education and special training, even reaching normal levels. Especially with early intervention, based on individualized treatment and education during the preschool period, combined with comprehensive measures from medicine, psychology, and education, the aim is to tap into potential, promote skills and initiative, and enable low intelligence patients to recover sooner. It is recommended to seek professional examinations at specialized hospitals for early treatment.
