Question
My child has seemed a bit slow since they were little, but I didn’t pay much attention. Later on, I noticed that the child’s intellectual growth and development were particularly slow, so I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. I didn’t expect that the child was suffering from intellectual disability. How should a child with intellectual disability be treated?
Answer
Intellectual disability is a condition that cannot be completely cured at present. For patients, special education and scientific rehabilitation training methods are needed to effectively improve their intellectual abilities. There are many specialized brain hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals today, and many hospitals have good rehabilitation departments. It is hoped that through professional rehabilitation treatment, patients can recover as soon as possible. In fact, having intellectual disability is not horrible at all; patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are discovered in time and treated accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovery are very high.
