Question

During the learning process, if a child struggles to understand or master the teaching content, it may raise concerns about their intellectual development. What are the symptoms of intellectual disability, and how can it be effectively treated?

Answer

Intellectual disability may manifest as learning difficulties and poor comprehension, often associated with post-infectious encephalitis, trauma, epilepsy, and other factors. It is recommended that parents take their child to a regular hospital’s pediatric neurology department for a detailed examination, including intelligence tests. If diagnosed, timely professional training should be initiated. Parents need to be patient and accompany their child to discover their potential. During the treatment process, a reasonable diet and avoiding irritating food can also help improve the condition.
